Recruited a month ago from Sevilla FC against a check for 50 million euros after a huge showdown between FC Barcelona and Chelsea, Jules Koundé has still not played any league match with Barça.
Indeed, the Catalan club has so far not been able to register the French international to compete in La Liga, in particular because of the club’s excessive payroll.
However, Jules Koundé should be present for the next meeting against Real Valladolid. Indeed, the Catalan daily Sport claims Barca are set to sign the 23-year-old defender this Friday, after being given the green light by La Liga.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s move to the Chelsea side could help the Catalans, but that doesn’t depend on this sale anymore. The Gabonese should still join the Blues by this weekend.
