Barcelona is in a hurry! Launching an emergency sales plan to register for Rashford, and there are still 6 people waiting to register

Marcus Rashford has joined Barcelona on loan on season, but the Manchester United star is in a tough situation related to the Catalan club.

It is reported that Barcelona is racing against time and is eager to make room for Marcus Rashford by selling players. The Catalan club had a familiar problem when registering the England international - Rashford joined on loan from Manchester United in July.

Last summer, Hans Flick's team encountered similar situations with Daniel Olmo's registration. The core of the problem lies in La Liga's salary cap policy: if the club wants to introduce new players, they must cut their salary expenditures - the ideal way is to sell senior players.

In the end, Barcelona successfully registered Olmo before the 2024-25 season, but in January this year, they had to rack their brains on similar issues. And this time, Rashford is not the only one facing the registration dilemma.

Barcelona signs Rashford on loan plus buyout option, and both he and new goalkeeper Joan Garcia need to complete the registration. According to the Sports News, the club also needs to re-register Voicheh Szczesni - the Polish goalkeeper has signed a new contract after his contract expires.

In addition, Barcelona plans to promote young players Gerald Martin, Mark Bernard and new player Rooney Badge to the first team. Swedish winger Badgi joins from Copenhagen this summer, but he will be reportedly on the first-team roster until the five people have completed their registration.

Barcelona will start the new season against Mallorca on August 16. They had previously expressed confidence in completing the necessary operations to ensure that Rashford could play, but the problem has not been resolved yet.

Several players have left the team this summer, including Pablo Torre, who may represent Mallorca against his old club in the opener. Clement Lenglet and Paul Victor leave the team permanently, and Ansu Fati will bear part of the salary after he is loaned to Monaco.

Mark Andre Terstegen's future may remain a key factor in Barcelona's registration of new players. The German goalkeeper missed most of the games last season due to injury, and Barcelona had hoped to register Garcia as an "injury replacement" so that he would not need to make extra salary space for him.

The "short-term replacement" policy applies to players expected to be out of the game for four months and more, but Ter Stegen publicly denied that he met this requirement. According to Spanish media reports, Barcelona has initiated disciplinary procedures against the former Borussia Mönchengladbach goalkeeper - although he is still the captain, some board members question whether he should continue to wear the captain's armband.

Last year, it was this injury clause that allowed Barcelona to successfully register for Olmo. Danish defender Christensen was absent from the first half of last season due to Achilles tendon problems, and when the central defender returned from injury in January, Ormo had to re-enroll.
