Rodri and Adeyemi cleared to feature in Barcelona opener

Barcelona have officially registered midfielder Rodri and forward Karim Adeyemi with La Liga for their upcoming campaign. The pair joined the Spanish giants from Manchester City and Borussia Dortmund respectively, with Rodri's transfer valued at €76.5 million and Adeyemi's at €22 million. Despite recent challenges in registering players freely with La Liga, Barcelona appears to be thriving, thanks to their adherence to the La Liga's 1:1 Fair Play rule.

Two more players, Anthony Gordon and João Cancelo, are yet to be registered, but Barca Universal anticipates these signings will be finalized before the team's opening match against Elche on Sunday night at Estadio Manuel Martínez Valero.
