Barcelona Face Player Registration Setback Ahead of New LaLiga Season

FC Barcelona is once again battling LaLiga registration issues as the new season approaches — and this time, six players are caught in the mix. Among them is a surprise name: England international Marcus Rashford.

Rashford, who joined Barcelona on a season-long loan from Manchester United this summer, is yet to be officially registered with the league. And he’s not alone.

Due to ongoing financial constraints, the Catalan giants are struggling to meet LaLiga’s strict financial fair play rules, which determine how much clubs can spend on player wages and transfers. These regulations have already caused problems in past seasons — and it seems history is repeating itself.

Last season, players like Dani Olmo and Pau Victor also faced registration complications. Though they were initially granted temporary licenses to play, LaLiga later revoked them during the January transfer window, leaving the club scrambling for solutions.

Despite these challenges, club president Joan Laporta remains optimistic. Speaking to ESPN, he said:

“It’s progressing well. We’re doing our job and we’re confident that we’ll be able to register everyone.”

With the new season just around the corner, fans and players alike will be hoping for a quick resolution — especially Rashford, who is eager to make his mark in Spain.

Barcelona must now act fast behind the scenes to ensure all six players are eligible to play when LaLiga kicks off. The coming days will be crucial for the club's plans on the pitch.
