Barcelona President Joan Laporta gives massive update on registering new signings including Macus Rashford for LaLiga season

Barcelona president Joan Laporta has said that the club are still trying to figure out the registration of their new signings. He stated that the club will be able to register Joan Garcia once they submit the medical report of Marc-Andre ter Stegen.

In a conversation with TV3, Laporta said that they are focused on registering the players before the start of the season this weekend, but are not in a hurry. They are confident of getting Garcia and is hoping for more news from the league, He said:

"We're working to make it happen. With Marc's decision, we have the option of registering Joan Garcia, and we're working on the rest. This week we'll have news, hopefully good news, to see if we can register them before La Liga starts. And if we can't, we have time."

Apart from Garcia, Barcelona have added Marcus Rashford this summer. The English player has joined on loan from Manchester United for the season, with an option to buy next summer.

Rashford also addressed the issues in the registration process earlier this summer, and the winger said:

"It's something for the club to sort out. I believe they are going to get it sorted. I just focus on training and be ready for the start of the season."

Barcelona needs to stay within the 1:1 rule set by LaLiga. The rule forces the Spanish sides to spend only as much as their income and accounts allow on wages.

LaLiga President warns Barcelona

LaLiga president Javier Tebas opened up on Barcelona activating Joan Garcia's release clause earlier this summer, stating that the Catalan side was not in a position to register the goalkeeper. He claimed that they had to do a lot with their financial situation to stay within the limit set and told the media at Madrid's Esade Campus:

"One thing is to make the signing of Joan Garcia official and another, to register him. They have to make movements and see which players they are going to decide... I hear so much... I don't know what is true of what is written. Barcelona is not in the 1:1 rule."

"I think the other day they announced the payment of Joan Garcia's clause, but I don't know if they have already done it, I don't understand much... Barca has to do things to be able to register him, not many, but they have to do things and they already know what they are, I'm not going to say them, but we don't even have dates, we'll see."

Barcelona activated the €25 million release clause in Garcia's contract amid interest from Arsenal. With Marc-Andre ter Stegen's unavailability for four months, the Spanish side will not be able to use the space to register the new signing.
