The past few days have been difficult for FC Barcelona, where despite the club toiling hard to find solutions to various issues, the club still finds itself engrossed. From the embarrassing defeat to AS Monaco, Barca's priority winger linked to other clubs, and still being in the struggle to reach the 1:1 FFP rule, the club hasn't enjoyed good fortune recently.

Add to that the board's struggle to register the important players with La Liga, still missing big names like Dani Olmo, Inigo Martinez, Pau Victor, and Pablo Torre. While Olmo seems to be the obvious priority for the Blaugrana club to register, some interesting updates regarding Hansi Flick's plan have been sourced.

Flick considers Inigo Martinez's registration a priority

According to recent reports from Diario SPORT, Hansi Flick has told the club to register Inigo Martinez as the first choice, even ahead of Dani Olmo. Though earlier reports had suggested that Flick, delighted with Inigo, might prioritize his registration in La Liga, the veteran's priority over Dani Olmo raises eyebrows.

However, from Barcelona's perspective, this decision might prove to be the most apt one in the club's condition. There had been speculations before Olmo's arrival that the Catalan club might face issues in the Spaniard's registration with La Liga, and it seems that the club's fear has now become a harsh reality.

According to reports from Diario SPORT, out of the remaining key players, the registration of Inigo and Pau Victor is expected to go smoothly, but the details of Dani Olmo's signing are now being reviewed. Thus, the German manager's decision to prioritize Inigo could prove impactful, given the club's need for an experienced center-back in the Blaugrana backline in Araujo's absence.

With less than a week to kick off their new campaign, Flick's side has begun preparations for the first La Liga matchday. Even though further updates are yet to arrive, Barça hopes to register key names like Inigo Martinez, Pau Victor, and Dani Olmo before the game against Valencia so that they start the new season with their best available XI.
