Barcelona completed a registration in the last hour before the deadline, which is becoming a more common occurrence for the Catalan giants, even though they made no acquisitions all through the last month of the transfer window.
In this instance, one of their La Masia products—rather than one of their recent signings—was registered.
According to Football Espana, instead of being listed as a Barca Atletic player, midfielder Marc Bernal is now enrolled with the first team, so Hansi Flick can utilize him however he sees fit.
Bernal, who is recovering from a cruciate ligament injury, started last season as a starter under Flick.

More than a year after his injury, he is anticipated to be prepared to return to the pitch for the first time against Valencia on September 14. He will wear the number 22 shirt with the first team, according to Sport.
It’s unclear at this time if he is registered under his present contract, which expires in 2026, or the 2029 contract which is newly agreed-upon, but yet-unannounced.
Nevertheless, Roony Bardghji, one of the club’s summer acquisitions, has not yet been included to the first team’s roster.
In order to prevent him from being without football until January, the Swedish prodigy is registered with Barca Atletic, although the Blaugrana still plan to register him later.
Due to players playing for affiliate sides, La Liga permits first team registrations all year long.
According to the Catalan daily, Barcelona plan to register Bardghji before the Valencia match through a third board guarantee after reportedly spending an additional €12 million on the registrations of Marcus Rashford, Joan Garcia, Wojciech Szczesny, and Gerard Martin.
