La Liga is about to start, 54 new players cannot play due to registration issues? Barcelona Rashford is also in a lingering situation

There is only one week left before the start of La Liga in the new season, and a huge trouble is in front of you: among the 104 new players signed in the league, there are still 54 people who have not completed the registration! This means that more than half of the new players, including Barcelona's Rashford, Celta's Zaragoza, Getafe's Juanmi, are unable to play now.
Barcelona became the focus of the focus. They only signed two new players, Rashford and goalkeeper Garcia, but both were stuck in the registration stage. The problem lies in the money. Barcelona is still anxiously waiting for the financial audit results, which determines whether they can get out of the strict "1:4 rule" (in the "1:1" rule) and return to the normal "1:1" state. The goalkeeper's position has also been in chaos, and the controversy in Ter Stegen's injury report and goalkeeper issues have all dragged their backs.
But the worse is the small and medium-sized team. Like Celta signed 4 people in one go, but none of them successfully registered; Elche signed 5, and they were all in the middle. The newly promoted Real Oviedo boldly introduced 7 new players, but all of them were unable to make the appearance. The most exaggerated ones are Getafe and Levante. Nine out of the 10 new players of Getafe were not registered, while Levante was wiped out by 8 new players. The office's inefficiency and salary cap restrictions have greatly affected the pre-season preparations of these teams.
Why is it so messy? After all, money is the root cause. La Liga is watching their young talent being poached by the Premier League. This summer, the Premier League spent 150 million euros to steal more than 10 good La Liga U23s. The gap is too big! The Premier League's broadcast income is 2.6 times that of La Liga. For example, the Wolves' money to buy a substitute (27 million euros), is not much less than Celta's total salary (40 million euros). Small and medium-sized teams can only make a living by selling youth training new stars. La Liga recently introduced a new "delayed registration" rule (allowing to register 1 transfer player first + 2 sign-free players). To put it bluntly, it also caused financial difficulties. The difficult small and medium-sized teams open a speech, but not the root cause.
What's more difficult is that the transfer is also involved in moral controversy. Villarreal wants to sign Ghana's midfielder Thomas, but the player carries multiple charges of rape and sexual assault (although not convicted). This angered the fans, and more than 800 people jointly protested. The fan leader bluntly stated that 90% of the fans opposed it, believing that this was the "darkest moment for the club" and touched the moral bottom line. The conflict between competitive needs and values has made the transfer market more complicated.
Time waits for no one. If Barcelona's audit can be passed in time and sponsorship funds are in place, their registration crisis may be resolved before the start of the game. But teams like Sevilla who have been losing money in a row can only wait for the seller to change the registration space. If the La Liga does not reform its income distribution, only Real Madrid and Barcelona may retain core players in the future. When young talents no longer choose La Liga, the competitiveness of the entire league may decline.
