DBasia.news – Jules Kunde is empathetic to the problem Barcelona are facing, regarding player registration, that he is ineligible to play in La Liga with his new club.
The France international player signed from Sevilla for 42 million pounds, but he cannot be involved in the league game as Barca need to comply with La Liga’s financial regulations.
Los Blaugrana successfully registered four new players before the opening match against Rayo Vallecano last week. But not so with Kounde.
According to Diario SPORT, Kounde is starting to feel stressed about his current situation. The 23-year-old defender is eager to get back on the field soon.
Xavi tried to assuage Kounde’s frustration by informing him that the club would prioritize registering his name in the next few weeks.
The former Sevilla defender was absent from Barca’s squad during the clash with Real Sociedad last Sunday night. However, Xavi confirmed that Kounde was in “good spirit”.
Xavi insisted: “Right now, we don’t know anything. We are alert. We are waiting. Kounde is a great leader and an extraordinary player. Hopefully he will show it soon.”
“He has been training well. I see he is in good spirit, but we need to sell some players in order to register him,” explained Xavi.
Citing 90min, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s move to Chelsea is a potential, and it could create space for Kunde to be listed in the Barca squad.
