JAKARTA - Marcus Rashford says he is confident Barcelona will find the funds to complete his registration.
The English player, who joined Barcelona last month on an initial loan from Manchester United, has not yet registered with La Liga due to the club's financial situation.
With less than two weeks left before the league opener against Mallorca, Rashford is not worried.
"This is something the club has to resolve. I'm sure they will resolve it. I'm just focused on training and preparing for the start of the season," Rashford said, as reported by ESPN.
Barcelona still needs to register Rashford, Joan Garcia, Roony Bardghji, Wojciech Szczesny, and Gerard Martin.
Barcelona president Joan Laporta assured supporters that they are working on the matter.
"The progress is going well. We are doing our job well. We are confident we can register all the players," Laporta said.
Meanwhile, Rashford is looking forward to the start of La Liga. He recently scored his first goal for Barcelona in a 5-0 victory over Daegu FC in their preseason trip to Asia.
"We're ready to start the season. Preseason has gone well. It's great to integrate with the team."
"I'm happy to adapt to this team, to adapt to the coach. There are a lot of great players, but I knew that before I came here."
"The quality is very high, the intensity is very high, and this is what we need to maintain throughout the season."
"Hopefully, we (Barcelona) can go further than the 2024/2025 season (Barcelona won the domestic treble) and win the Champions League," Rashford said in South Korea.
Furthermore, Rashford has ambitions to become another goal-scoring solution for Barcelona. He even joked that he would aim to score 100 goals in the 2025/2026 season.
"One hundred! As many as I can. I realize it will be different for me playing in a new country, a new style of football, but I accept the challenge; the more goals the better," he said.
Barcelona has the option to make Rashford's move permanent next summer, but the player insists he's not thinking too much about the future.
"I'm not thinking about next season. I want to do my best for the team while I'm here, and then we'll see," said the striker.
