With another million-dollar deal at the last moment, FC Barcelona managed to secure a playing permit for world footballer Robert Lewandowski and other expensive newcomers to the league.
The league side listed the former Bayern striker as well as Andreas Christensen and Franck Kessie as registered on Friday night. You can use it to play against Rayo Vallecano from Madrid in the first league game on Saturday night (21:00) at the Camp Nou. First, the “image” reported on the success of the Catalans.
According to information from the specialist newspaper “Mundo Deportivo”, the Catalans were also able to secure the playing license for new signing Raphinha as well as for Ousmane Dembélé and Sergi Roberto, whose contracts have been renewed. Only the case of Jules Kounde is still unclear.
The club had previously announced that it had sold 24.5 percent of the shares in Barça Studios to Orpheus Media for 100 million euros in the fourth campaign of this kind. With this further cash injection, the Catalans made the breakthrough.
The league has to ensure that the rules of fair play are observed, but according to the Spanish media it had no interest in superstars ending up in the stands.
