Laporta was clear weeks ago, Barcelona's president assured that the formula for registering players didn't depend on Marc-André Ter Stegen's injury. Even though it was the fastest and easiest way to activate roster spots. Joan Laporta insisted that the club was working on other ways to register the new signings.
Now, with the transfer window in full swing, his version has been confirmed. Barça has managed to register the vast majority of its players without needing to use the medical leave of its starting goalkeeper. Ter Stegen remains a key piece in Flick's plans, and the board has avoided making his personal situation an administrative resource.
In his latest statements, Laporta confessed that only one name remains to be registered: Roony Bardghji. The young Swedish talent, one of the club's signings for the future, is still waiting for his turn to be cleared in LaLiga. The rest of the newcomers are already officially part of the squad, and the management by the culé board has been key for the squad to be almost complete.
Joan García with a great debut
Joan García, the young goalkeeper who made his debut against Mallorca, did so with high marks. His performance caused trust in the goal, showing that the youth academy remains a guarantee for the future. García's debut not only brought calm to the fans, but also confirmed the commitment to homegrown players.
His presence is combined with veterans like Ter Stegen, which offers a balance between experience and youth. For a club going through financial difficulties, this policy is vital. Meanwhile, Marcus Rashford has already had his first minutes as a blaugrana. The English forward arrived with the label of star signing.
Laporta sends a message
His debut, although brief, showed flashes of his quality. The fans hope he can adapt quickly and become an offensive reference. Laporta, with his words about Ter Stegen, made it clear that the club's strategy couldn't depend on external factors. The registration of players had to be managed with financial solvency and the club's own resources.
The current confirmation proves that the president wasn't selling smoke, but had a structured plan. Barça still needs to finalize Bardghji's registration, but calm reigns in the board. The blaugrana squad already has the necessary players to face a demanding schedule. The market may still bring surprises, although the priority now is administrative stability.
