The Athletic update column reports on Barcelona's transfer and registration, saying that the team's summer signing plan has ended and the club is focusing on completing the registration of Martin, Szczesny and Badge.

Weekly summary

Barcelona finally completed the registration of new players Joan Garcia and Rashford before Saturday's match against Mallorca. Among them, Garcia's registration benefited from Ter Stegen's long-term injury special case, and the La Liga allowed Barcelona to transfer part of the German salary space to Garcia.

Rashford's registration was completed only after the club's senior management agreed to use personal property as a guarantee. At the same time, Conde's contract extension also played a role, with the Frenchman's contract extended to 2030, and Barcelona could amortize his expenses for a longer period of time, freeing up some salary space.

On Friday, Barcelona announced an agreement with Portugal Sports to sell the remaining 50% ownership of the 25-year-old Portuguese winger Trincon, worth 11 million euros. Club sources said the funds will be used for further registration efforts. Barcelona is preparing to compete in full, and the team is very active in its sports plan, and the team has been strengthened well this summer. There is a real excitement, a new beginning, which opens all the doors for Barcelona and looks very promising.

Defense line, Joan Garcia guarded the Barcelona goal. Although Inigo Martinez's departure was unexpected, the team's defense depth was still very strong. In the midfield, Casado, Gavi and Olmo all came off the bench in a 3-0 victory over Mallorca on Saturday (starting from De Jong, Pedri and Fermin). On the forward line, Lewandowski faces competition from Ferran Torres, who is in good shape, and the arrival of Rashford is also helpful. Rafinia looks as strong as last season, and Yamal seems to be able to reach a higher level after wearing the iconic No. 10 jersey.

What are the players in Barcelona looking for? The club is not actively seeking further signings at the moment, and they believe all positions are well covered and are now focusing on completing the registration of the last three first-team players: Gerald Martin, Szczesny and Badge.

Which players may leave?

The one who is most likely to leave is Inaghi-Penia. The 26-year-old goalkeeper provided strong support to Ter Stegen last season but lost his starting position after the team signed Szczesny. Currently, both Como and Celta have expressed interest.

19-year-old right-back Hector Ford is also not in Flick's plan, and Garcia and Conde are the first choice for German coaches. The club is willing to find a way out for him, whether it is a loan or a permanent transfer, but may have a buyback clause attached.

Finally, Romeu, the 33-year-old midfielder (who was loaned to Girona last season) remains a member of Barcelona, but he is not in the first team's consideration and the players are seeking to leave.
