La Liga will give Barcelona the green light for Jules Kounde’s registration

Ahead of their third La Liga game of the new season, Barcelona have been handed a huge boost as La Liga is ready to give the green light to the registration of new signing Jules Kounde.

This claim comes from SPORT, who state that La Liga values the efforts made by the Blaugrana, who activated four economic levers and adjusted player contracts, in order to meet the Financial Fair Play regulations.

Barça have made five new senior signings this summer, but registered only four of them prior to the start of the campaign, with Kounde being the one left out.

The club hoped to get the issue sorted by last weekend before the game against Real Sociedad, but were unable to do so.

With reports stating that the 23-year-old is getting frustrated due to the registration issue, the Blaugrana wish to get the issue sorted at the earliest.

Earlier this morning, reports emerged that Barcelona can go ahead with registering Kounde irrespective of whether they sell Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang or not.

Now, SPORT corroborates those claims while also stating that La Liga will soon give the green light to the French defender’s situation. As iterated earlier, the league values the efforts made by Barcelona.

On top of that, the departure of Samuel Umtiti on Thursday and the fact that Pablo Torre is not on the first-team payroll also help Barcelona’s cause, as per the report.

The deadline for Barça to register Kounde before the game on Sunday is at 6 pm. But the Catalans believe that they should close up the matter well in time before they take on Real Valladolid, without having to sell Aubameyang, Memphis Depay or any other player.
