Official: Koundé is registered as an FC Barcelona player in LaLiga

Finally, Koundé has been registered in LaLiga and will now be available for the match against Valladolid this Sunday at 19:30 at Camp Nou.

Xavi Hernández will be relieved, as he was anxious to be able to field the French centre-back as soon as possible.

After having presented three different appeals, the club has at long last received the green light from LaLiga to make the registration.

Koundé aims to continue as a starter, as he did last Wednesday against Manchester City.

Barça worked hard to get him, due to some disagreements with the competition's interpretation of his contract figures.

He has missed the first two games of the competition and the coach himself complained about it in a press conference, but the departure of Umtiti has helped the club to resolve the situation.

Thanks to the levers and the different adjustments in the contracts of the footballers, and keeping Pablo Torre in the reserve team, it will be possible for the fans to see the official debut of Koundé this weekend.
