Szczęsny becomes Barça's priority for LaLiga registrations

FC Barcelona, although it has already resolved the registrations of Joan García and Marcus Rashford, cannot rest on its laurels regarding this issue. The reason? It still has pending registrations before September 1 at 11:59 p.m., when the 2025/26 summer market in Spain will close.

The current priority seems to be the registration of Polish goalkeeper Wojciech Szczęsny, recently renewed until 2027. His new contract with the Blaugrana team has not yet been registered with LaLiga, which prevents him from officially joining the first team.

FC Barcelona goalkeepers currently registered in LaLiga Szczesny, absent

• 📌 THE DATA: Tek did not appear on the list of players called up for the first match of the 2025/26 season against RCD Mallorca in LaLiga EA Sports.

How Szczęsny's registration affects Iñaki Peña's departure

Szczęsny is expected to be the second goalkeeper for Barcelona, replacing Iñaki Peña, who could leave this summer – presumably to Como 1907. However, the departure of the Alicante native is stalled by the impossibility of registering the Polish goalkeeper.

If the current '1' is dispensed with without registering Wojciech, the culé team would lose the only goalkeeper, in addition to Joan García and Ter Stegen —currently injured—, with a first-team contract. Something that the Catalan team cannot afford.

Barça's key moves to register Tek: departures of Oriol Romeu and Iñaki Peña to free up space

According to reports from SPORT, the team from the Condal City already has the necessary maneuvers planned to speed up the registration of the goalkeeper. With the match against Levante on the horizon (08/23), the departures of Oriol Romeu and Iñaki Peña are expected to be agreed in the coming days to generate sufficient space in financial fair play and add the registration of Szczęsny, with number 25, ready to cover the back of the Catalan goalkeeper.

1. FORMULA WITH WHICH FC BARCELONA WOULD GET RID OF ORIOL ROMEU: Possible letter of freedom.
2. FORMULA WITH WHICH FC BARCELONA WOULD GET RID OF IÑAKI PEÑA: Renewal for one more year (2027), distributing amounts that he should receive this year. He would leave on loan with a more affordable salary.

Once this is resolved, the contracts of Gerard Martín, who needs to be obligatorily registered in the first team due to his age, as well as those of Marc Bernal and Roony Bardghji, would have to be registered. The question now is: will the club manage to register them in time for matchday 2 of LaLiga? We'll have to see.
