Barcelona registers Koundé thanks to the endorsement of its directors before LaLiga

Barcelona signed

on July 28.

After missing the first two days of the League, this Sunday he will finally be able to play against Valladolid at the Camp Nou after his registration materialized this afternoon.

The Barça club, faced with the difficulties in finalizing the transfer of

to Chelsea and the refusal of

to accept the economic conditions of its suitors, has ended up opting for an alternative route.

Members of the Barcelona board of directors, by means of a guarantee, have had to guarantee before LaLiga the achievement of income or benefits to increase the registration capacity.

Specifically, Barcelona has applied article 92 of the Economic Control regulations that regulate the

of the competition.

The rule opens the door for clubs to increase their salary margins in a "strictly transitory" manner and by 5% of the net amount of turnover.

This requires, yes, that the clubs provide guarantees through a cash deposit or a bank guarantee.

This "must be provided by the shareholder or a third party outside the club, but never by the club itself," it is specified in the article.

In addition, if the guarantee is not fulfilled, it must be recorded in the entity's balance sheet as non-refundable equity, with LaLiga reserving that amount for the payment of overdue debts by the club.

In the employers' association, since the arrival of the pandemic, there have been several clubs that have taken advantage of this article 92 to be able to register their footballers.

Barcelona,

's growing discomfort over his situation (the defender has a clause that allowed him to break his contract if he had not been signed up before August 31), has ended up opting for the guarantee route after it was not enough with the transfer of

to Lecce (a good part of the salary continues to correspond to the Barça club) and the withdrawal of

's first team visa .

In any case, and at the request of coach

to continue reinforcing the squad (the priority, as he confessed this Saturday, is to hire a right back), the Barcelona executives will try to advance in the negotiations for salary cuts, being

one of the main targets.
