All of Barcelona's summer signings, except Bissouma, have been registered with the first team. The Athletic reports this is the first time in 4 years that Barcelona has completed registration so smoothly and still has space to register 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. 18-year-old midfielder Bissouma, whom Barcelona signed from Brugge for €8.5 million, is expected to be registered as a B-team player.

Gordon, Adeyemi, and Cancelo are all set to feature in Sunday's match against Elche, but Rodri will not debut as he is still building his fitness. The World Cup winner joined from Manchester City this summer and is currently not training with the main squad.

"Our plan is for him to rejoin the main squad training on Monday," Barcelona manager Flick said at a press conference on Saturday when discussing Rodri. "I'm very happy with how he's looking. He's an exceptional player, a leader on the pitch, and has a wonderful character."

Why can Barcelona register all their new signings?

This is the first time in 4 years Barcelona has been in such a favorable position regarding player registration. This is largely due to La Liga raising the salary limit for clubs, but other factors have also contributed to Barcelona's current situation. The club has offloaded several high-wage contracts, such as Lewandowski, who departed after his contract expired.

The team's return to Camp Nou has also helped. According to a Barcelona insider 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 renovation work began in 2023.

Similar sources indicate that La Liga has allowed Barcelona to apply the famous 1:1 rule: for every euro the club saves in wage and transfer costs, they can use an equivalent amount to register new players. In previous summer transfer windows, due to financial difficulties, La Liga forced Barcelona to accumulate more money before they could spend on player registration.

For example, in the previous 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 a special clause in La Liga's rules, allowing Barcelona to use a portion of the injured player's salary limit to register a replacement.

Senior club sources also point out that commercial revenue will exceed the original budget, and this season Barcelona can begin utilizing some VIP seats in the new stadium, both of which contribute to their improved financial situation.

It is widely believed within the club that Barcelona still has room to register new 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.
