After a long wait and a lot of speculations, FC Barcelona have finally succeeded in registering their new signing, Joan Garcia, in La Liga.
The process was completed in the early hours of Saturday morning, with Garcia’s name now reflecting on the La Liga official transfers page for the 2025/26 season on their website.
Barça signed Garcia from RCD Espanyol earlier this summer, shelling out his €25 million release clause amount, adjusted for inflation, beating several other teams to his capture.
But given the club’s Financial Fair Play woes, Garcia’s registration was always going to be a complicated issue, and it took the Blaugrana a while to resolve the matter.
The long-term injury to their captain, Marc-Andre ter Stegen, came as a boon as Barcelona were able to use his salary space to now register Garcia.
The Blaugrana sent all the necessary documentation on Friday, and the procedure is now complete, with the 24-year-old poised to make his official debut for the club tonight against RCD Mallorca.
Interestingly, however, the official Barcelona roster page on the La Liga official website shows Garcia without a shirt number at this moment, while strangely, Inaki Pena is depicted with the No. 1.
Barcelona are now expecting that Marcus Rashford’s registration will also be completed in the coming hours.
