According to information from 'Sport', Jules Kounde will be able to be regisrted for the matchday three against Valladolid next Sunday. La Liga values their efforts and the financial levers activated by Barcelona.

Jules Kounde, if nothing changes, will be able to play against Real Valladolid. According to 'Sport', Barcelona will be able to register the defender in time for the matchday three La Liga encounter without needing to sell a player. 

The cited source takes La Liga's approval for granted. They are very happy with the efforts made by the Catalan giants. This has drastically changed their financial situation with a reduction in wage bill and, especially, the four levers which have relieved the pressute on their finances. 

Apparently, the final two details which have ended up putting Barca in an excellent position to register Kounde have had to do with Pablo Torre and Samuel Umtiti. The former will not count towards the first team's wage bill, as he will have be registered as a B team player, while the centre-back has recently joined Lecce on loan

As well as this, Barcelona also had a second way which was to appeal the decision to the Spanish FA's 'Second Instance Committee', an appeals committee which reviews cases rejected by the 'First Instance Committee.' However, it looks like this option is no longer necessary. 

Therefore, the urgency to sell Memphis Depay, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Sergiño Dest reduces. The club still needs money, but they do not need to sell them on the cheap in order to register their new players. However, if they are still trying to sign players then they will need to sell some footballers. Bernardo Silva is their main target, but Guardiola has recently slammed that door shut.
