FC Barcelona have taken a decisive step to resolve their player registration issues ahead of this weekend’s La Liga clash against Rayo Vallecano.

According to Mundo Deportivo, the Catalan giants have extended their financial guarantee by an additional €5 million, ensuring the registration of their pending players – Gerard Martin, Wojciech Szczesny, and Roony Bardghji.

The move comes after the departures of Iñaki Peña and Oriol Romeu, coupled with the €7 million guarantee that the board had already deposited with La Liga earlier this month.

With the new extension, Barcelona have now backed their obligations with a total of €12 million, part of which has been secured through promissory notes already received by the league.

Step-by-step registrations

Gerard Martin is expected to be the first player officially registered, with the club having already tried to make him available for last week’s clash against Levante.

Wojciech Szczesny will follow next, set to deputise for Joan Garcia in goal after Peña’s departure.

Finally, Roony Bardghji will complete the list, strengthening Barça’s attacking options.

Boost for Flick before Vallecano

With all paperwork on track, manager Hansi Flick is expected to have all three players available for Sunday’s trip to Vallecas, a crucial boost as Barcelona look to keep momentum in La Liga.

If everything proceeds smoothly, the Blaugrana will enter the match with a fully reinforced squad, ending weeks of administrative uncertainty.
