Barcelona seeks solution for Jesse Bisiwu as registration delay continues

Barcelona have devised a temporary pathway for highly-rated summer signing Jesse Bisiwu as a visa delay prevents the Belgian teenager from featuring in La Liga. The 18-year-old is currently training with Barça Atlètic and is expected to start their friendly against Reus on Wednesday, allowing him to gain match fitness while his registration is completed.

According to Barca Universal, Hansi Flick had considered Bisiwu for Barcelona’s league opener but administrative issues prevented his inclusion. The club reportedly still views the youngster as part of its first-team plans and intends to continue integrating him once the paperwork is resolved.
