Barcelona have finally registered Jules Kounde with La Liga, following his signing from Sevilla. The centre-back can now make his competitive debut for the Blaugrana, and he is expected to make the squad against Real Valladolid today.
Due to their financial constraints, Barcelona needed to make a few sales in order to register the Frenchman. At this stage, they have not been able to achieve that, but have somehow registered Kounde with the league so that they can play him in their competitive games.
Jules Kounde registered with La Liga
If he wasn’t registered by August 31, Kounde would’ve been able to leave the club as a free agent. But, that will not happen anymore since he has finally been registered as a new Barcelona player.
The club is now expected to complete the signing of Chelsea full-back Marcos Alonso in the coming days. The Spaniard will also be registered prior to the deadline, since a deal has already been agreed with the Premier League club for his signing.
Barcelona are one of Europe’s top spenders this summer, despite being unable to pay their existing players wages. They have signed Robert Lewandowski, Raphinha, Jules Kounde, Andreas Christensen and Franck Kessie with the last two arriving on a free transfer.
A deal with Chelsea for Aubameyang has proven to be difficult, while Memphis Depay looks set to stay after talks with Juventus collapsed.
