Barcelona Registers Rashford And García Ahead Of LaLiga 2025/26 Opener Against Mallorca

‎Barcelona’s new forward, Marcus Rashford, and goalkeeper, Joan García have been registered in time to feature in the Spanish champions’ La Liga opener at Mallorca on Saturday.

‎Barça announced that Rashford and García are both included in coach Hansi Flick’s squad for the trip to Mallorca.

‎Rashford joined on loan from Manchester United last month, with an option to buy, while García arrived from Espanyol in June.

‎Due to financial fair play complications, the Catalans were scrambling to register players, having spent more on signings and wages than they have generated in revenue for multiple seasons.

‎Player profiles of Rashford and Garcia are now listed on LaLiga’s website.

‎However, those for Gerard Martin and keeper Wojciech Szczesny are absent, suggesting Barcelona may be staggering registrations if unable to complete them all at once.

‎Barca eased part of their registration woes following internal negotiations involving captain Marc-Andre ter Stegen.

‎The German goalkeeper initially refused to sign a long-term medical leave agreement that would wipe out 80% of his wages and help the club meet financial regulations.

‎After surgery, he was sidelined for at least three months, lost the captaincy, and later regained it after agreeing to the deal.
