Barcelona are in a last-minute dash to register Marcus Rashford ahead of their LaLiga curtain-raiser against Mallorca on Saturday evening.
According to Mundo Deportivo, the Catalan club are expediting the legal process to finalise the forward’s registration — a case being handled separately from goalkeeper Joan Garcia’s situation.
With La Liga’s strict financial controls still casting a long shadow, player registrations remain a pressing issue at the Camp Nou.
Hansi Flick faces uncertainty over the availability of his three new signings for the trip to Son Moix, with Rashford’s paperwork now the priority.
The club are awaiting final approval for the sale of VIP seats at the newly redeveloped Spotify Camp Nou — a deal worth close to €100 million — alongside a €7 million guarantee.
This injection would allow Barcelona to meet La Liga’s 1:1 spending rule, paving the way for new arrivals to be officially registered.
While Joan Garcia’s registration is expected to be confirmed swiftly following Marc-Andre ter Stegen’s injury, Rashford’s case is more complex.
Time is running short, and although the England international may not be cleared in time to face Mallorca, Barcelona are determined to push the process to the very last minute.
The saga underscores the ongoing financial strain at the club, with every move subjected to rigorous scrutiny by La Liga officials.
