Barcelona register Memphis Depay for La Liga after Pique takes 'substantial' pay cut

Having failed to retain Lionel Messi, the Blaugrana have at least managed to register several key faces ahead of the season opener this weekend

Barcelona have confirmed the registration of Memphis Depay for La Liga's new season, alongside Eric Garcia and Rey Manaj, after Gerard Pique agreed to a significant salary reduction.

The Blaugrana have found themselves attempting to balance the books to conform with the league's financial rules this summer, having already failed to re-sign Lionel Messi owing to fiscal limitations.

Those limitations had seen them unable to register several of their new recruits ahead of the 2021-22 campaign, but on the eve of the season, the club has now confirmed at least three of their transfer window arrivals are now registered to play.
