Rodri, Gordon & more: Will Barcelona stars be registered for La Liga opener?

An insight into the plans of those in a position of power at La Liga champions Barcelona to register the club’s crop of summer signings for action in Spain’s top-flight has come to the fore online.

This of course comes fresh off a busy couple of days on the incomings front at the Spotify Camp Nou…

Over the last 48 hours alone, Hansi Flick has seen his squad reinforced courtesy of a pair of high-profile additions. First through the door was Manchester City midfielder Rodri, followed in short order by João Cancelo’s return from Al-Hilal.

These two add to previous deals for Anthony Gordon and Karim Adeyemi, amid something of a squad revolution in Catalunya’s capital this summer.

As of this moment, however, none of the aforementioned quartet are registered to take to the pitch in league play… Just days out from Barcelona’s La Liga season opener against Elche, Hansi Flick and his staff are technically unable to call on any of Rodri, Cancelo, Gordon or Adeyemi.

If the latest word stemming from the Spanish media on Thursday is anything to go by, though, then the Blaugrana need not worry about a similar situation to that of last summer, surrounding Dani Olmo.

As per a report from club insider Gerard Romero:

‘Barça will have all the new players registered before Sunday, Cancelo might be a bit tighter, but the rest all okay.’
