Soccer / Spain. Why Barca haven’t registered Jules Koundé for the league yet
The resumption of La Liga will take place without Jules Koundé for Barça which receives Rayo Vallecano this Saturday at 9 p.m. The recruits figure well in the group: Franck Kessié, Andreas Christensen, Robert Lewandowski and Raphinha. But missing, a certain … Jules Koundé.
Despite the 868 million the club received through the sale of 25% of television rights for the next 25 years and 49.5% of Barça studios, the Frenchman will have to wait for the ongoing negotiations to reduce the wages of the player. squad (Gerard Pique and Sergio Busquets) are coming to an end. Or that one of the players leaves the club like for example Frenkie De Jong, ardently courted by Chelsea and Manchester United.
The Spanish daily Sport also ensures that the departure of one of the two undesirables (Martin Brahwaite and Samuel Umtiti) would even be enough to register the native of Paris.
Jules Koundé was, in any case, not fit to play the game on Saturday, injured. So his registration was not the priority…
