All of Barcelona's new signings, except Bissouma, have been registered with the first team. The Athletic reports that this is the first time in four years Barcelona has completed player registration without complications, and the club still has room to register additional new players.

On Saturday morning, La Liga officially confirmed that Cancelo, along with Gordon, Adeyemi, and Rodri, have been registered as first-team players for Barcelona's new season. Eighteen-year-old winger Bissouma, signed by Barcelona from Club Brugge for €8.5 million, is expected to be registered with the B team.

Gordon, Adeyemi, and Cancelo are all expected to feature in Sunday evening's match against Elche, but Rodri will not make his debut as he continues his physical conditioning. The World Cup winner joined the club this summer from Manchester City and is currently not training with the first team.

"Our plan is for him to rejoin first-team training on Monday," Barcelona manager Flick said at Saturday's press conference when discussing Rodri. "I'm very pleased with his arrival; he's an exceptionally talented player, a leader on the pitch, and has a remarkable personality."

Why Can Barcelona Register All Their New Players?

For the first time in four years, Barcelona has faced no obstacles in registering its new signings. This is primarily due to La Liga's increase in the club salary limit, but other factors have also contributed to Barcelona's current situation. The club has eliminated several high-salary contracts, such as Lewandowski's, who departed after his contract expired.

The team's return to Camp Nou has also helped. According to Barcelona insiders who requested anonymity, matchday revenue has increased significantly; the club will use the 60,000-capacity stadium for the new season, the first time since the stadium renovation project began in 2023.

The same source stated that La Liga has allowed Barcelona to apply the famous 1:1 rule: for every euro the club saves in wages and transfer fees, the same amount can be used to register new players. In the previous summer transfer window, due to financial difficulties, La Liga had forced Barcelona to generate more funds before being permitted to spend on player registration.

For example, in the last two seasons, new signings like Joan Garcia and Olmo were able to be registered because Ter Stegen and Christensen suffered long-term injuries. The injuries triggered special exemption clauses in La Liga's regulations, allowing Barcelona to use part of the injured player's salary limit to register replacement players.

Senior club officials also noted that commercial revenue will exceed initial budget projections, and Barcelona can begin utilizing some premium seats in the new stadium this season—both factors contributing to the club's improved financial position.

There is widespread belief within the club that Barcelona still has room to register additional players if needed. With two weeks remaining in the transfer window, the Catalan side continues to search for a striker and is evaluating various recruitment options.
