The saga is over. La Liga's Medical Committee has approved Barcelona's move in the goalkeeping department. The Catalan club issued a statement confirming Marc-Andre Ter Stegen's long-term absence. Furthermore, the club will proceed to register Joan Garcia with immediate effect on Thursday.
In turn, Barcelona assured that, "with immediate effect," Joan Garcia will be listed on the league's registry this Thursday. Hansi Flick will be able to call upon his new goalkeeper for the season opener. The reigning champions visit Mallorca at Son Moix this Saturday at 19:30.
All this comes after Joan Laporta approved seeking a guarantee of seven million euros to meet the 1:1 rule. With this financial backing, he will also be able to finalise the registrations of Marcus Rashford and Roony Bardghji ahead of the 2025-26 campaign.
