Barça still unable to register Szczesny and Bardghji: what does Flick think?

FC Barcelona has still not been able to register Wojciech Szczęsny and Roony Bardghji, due to the financial fair play restrictions imposed by the Spanish football association, since is not under the 1:1 rule, which is why both players are on their way to missing the third match for LaLiga 2025/26, which will be against Rayo Vallecano.

Therefore, coach Hansi Flick, in the run-up to the match against the 'franjirrojos', was blunt when asked about the issue of registrations; to which he initially replied: "We hope":

In the same vein, the German coach also pointed out that it is a striking issue, but that it is not in his hands to solve it, with just over two days to go before the close of the summer market (1 September).

"It's an interesting issue, but I can't change it. It is what it is. There are two more days and we are seeing the finish line", said the coach who is facing his second season in charge of Barça.

A new guarantee from Barça, the possible solution for the registrations of Szczesny and Bardghji

In this order of ideas, it is worth noting that, for the fourth consecutive year, the Catalan team has resorted to personal guarantees as an emergency route to comply with LaLiga's financial requirements.

Thus, before the start of the 2025/26 season, the blaugrana entity presented a guarantee of 7 million euros, a key manoeuvre that, added to the long-term absence of Marc-André ter Stegen, allowed the regulatory registration of Joan García and Marcus Rashford just in time for the league debut against RCD Mallorca.

Now, the club would have activated another guarantee of 5 'kilos', which added to the margin released in the wage bill by the one-season loan of Iñaki Peña to Elche, in addition to the termination of Oriol Romeu's contract, resulted in the registration of Gerard Martín, who was also awaiting registration and appeared this Friday (29 August) registered on the LaLiga website.

This would also serve, in principle, for Barça to register Roony Bardghji and goalkeeper Wojciech Szczęsny. However, we have to wait for both players to appear on the association's website. Both are calm and confident that the club will resolve their situations before the close of the transfer window.

It should be noted that the club did not register the 19-year-old right winger as a reserve team player, as it fears that LaLiga will intervene in his registration by not seeing him playing with the Azulgrana youth teams.

Roony Bardghji's hopeful message

As is already known, Bardghji does not officially appear in the Barça squad on the LaLiga website, but everything points to his incorporation being closer and closer.

The Swede has set social media on fire with a message full of hope. He posted a picture during training accompanied by the word "Soon", two Azulgrana hearts and an hourglass. A wink that could clearly point to his registration.
