FC Barcelona, which is burdened by major financial worries, managed to secure another million-dollar deal at the last moment to secure a playing permit for world footballer Robert Lewandowski and other expensive newcomers to the league.
On the league side, the former Bayern striker, along with Andreas Christensen, Franck Kessie and Raphinha were listed as registered late 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.
Initially, several Spanish media reported on the success.
There was initially no confirmation from the club.
According to information from the specialist newspaper "Mundo Deportivo", the Catalans were also able to secure the playing license for Ousmane Dembélé and Sergi Roberto, whose contracts have been renewed.
Only the case of Jules Kounde, who also came in the summer, is still unclear.
The club, which is estimated to have a debt of 1.35 billion euros, had previously announced that it had sold Orpheus Media 24.5 percent of the shares in Barça Studios for 100 million euros in the fourth campaign of this kind.
With this further financial injection, the Catalans apparently made the breakthrough.
The league has to ensure that the rules of fair play are observed, but according to the Spanish media it was not interested in superstars ending up in the stands.
