Barcelona finally resolve Marcus Rashford problem with last-minute decision

Barcelona have finally managed to secure Marcus Rashford’s registration following Hansi Flick’s complaints. The Manchester United star joined the Catalan giants on a season-long loan earlier this summer.

Despite the move being approved, Barcelona were unable to register Rashford for the forthcoming La Liga season. And should that not have been approved, then the forward could have potentially been sidelined until January.

It appears however that Barcelona have managed to find a solution to the issue. Rashford’s profile appeared on the La Liga website appeared for the first time alongside that of Joan Garcia - who was also facing registration problems following his summer switch.

Gerard Martin and Wojciech Szczesny remained absent, potentially suggesting that Barcelona were attempting to stagger the registrations. Barcelona have needed help from goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen to alleviate their financial difficulties.

They have agreed that the German serves a temporary medical leave agreement that frees up around 80 percent of his wages. The news that both Rashford and Garcia are available for this weekend’s season opener vs Mallorca will be welcome news for boss Hansi Flick, who made his displeasure at the ongoing situation known.

“For me, the situation, you can imagine I’m not happy about that. But I know the situation and I believe in the club,” the German said on Friday.

“We have to wait till tomorrow. It was the same situation last season. We will focus on what we can change and what is in our hands. The other things, I believe in the club.”

Elsewhere, Rashford has already spoken out on his first few weeks with Barcelona and claimed that he has found it easy to adapt. Speaking on The Rest is Football podcast, he said: “There are good people who are like a bridge.

“Frenkie [de Jong] speaks really good English, Jules [Kounde] speaks very good English, but they also have good Spanish because they’ve been here a few years.

“But on the pitch, honestly it’s easier than what I thought it would be. Also football overall, I know a lot of people say it, but it’s a language in itself and it’s easy to communicate through the general vibe on the pitch.”

Following their season opener against Mallorca, Barcelona are back in action next weekend as they travel to Levante. Barcelona’s first home game of the season will not take place until after the international break due to the ongoing renovation of the Nou Camp.
