All players that FC Barcelona signed during the summer transfer window have been registered with the first team, except Bissuma. The Athletic reports this is the first time in four years that FC Barcelona has completed player registrations smoothly, and there is still space available for additional player registrations.

On Saturday morning, LaLiga officially confirmed that Xavi Hernández, Antonie Gundo, Karim Adeyemi, and Rodri have been officially registered as first-team players for FC Barcelona for the new season. Bissuma, an 18-year-old winger who Barcelona signed from Bruges for €8.5 million, is expected to be registered with the B team.

Antonie Gundo, Karim Adeyemi, and Xavi Hernández are all expected to play on Sunday night against Elche. However, Rodri will not debut yet as he continues his physical conditioning. The World Cup winner joined from Manchester City during the summer and is currently training separately from the first team.

"Our plan is for him to rejoin first-team training on Monday," Barcelona coach Flick said in a press conference on Saturday when asked about Rodri. "I'm very happy about his arrival. He's an exceptional player, a leader on the pitch, and has a remarkable personality."

How is Barcelona able to register all new players?

This is the first time in four years that FC Barcelona has been in a comfortable position regarding player registrations. The main reason is LaLiga's increase in the salary cap for clubs, but other factors have also contributed to Barcelona's improved financial situation. The club has terminated several high-cost player contracts, such as Robert Lewandowski, who left after his contract expired.

The team's return to Camp Nou also helped. According to an internal Barcelona source, matchday revenue has increased significantly. The club will use the 60,000-capacity stadium again in the new season for the first time since stadium renovations began in 2023.

The same source indicates that LaLiga allows Barcelona to use the famous 1:1 rule: for every euro in wages and transfer costs the club saves, they can allocate an equivalent amount toward registering new players during the transfer window. During the past summer transfer window, due to financial concerns, LaLiga required Barcelona to save more money before spending on player registrations.

For example, in the past two seasons, new signings like Juan García and Dani Olmo could be registered because Marc-André ter Stegen and Andreas Christensen suffered long-term injuries. The injuries triggered an exception in LaLiga's rules, allowing Barcelona to use a portion of the injured players' salary budget to register replacement players.

Club sources also point out that commercial revenue will exceed the set budget, and Barcelona can begin using some VIP seats in the new stadium this season, which has further improved the financial situation.

It is widely believed within the club that Barcelona still has room to register additional players if needed. With two weeks remaining in the transfer window, the Catalan club continues to search for strikers and is evaluating various options for additional signings.
