Kounde remains sidelined as Barcelona push Aubameyang to Chelsea

Jules Kounde remains unregistered at Barcelona.

Marca says Kounde won't make his Barcelona debut this weekend against Real Sociedad, as the Blaugrana will have to wait a bit longer before registering him.

Xavi is waiting for a call from Mateu Alemany or Jordi Cruyff informing him that Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Memphis Depay have been sold, as their departures would allow Kounde to finally join the team.

Barcelona are negotiating with Chelsea over Aubameyang's departure, but so far, they can't reach an agreement on the forward's valuation.

Barcelona want around 30 million euros, while the Blues are offering around 20 million.

Variables would be added to that figure, which could facilitate a deal depending on how easy or difficult they are to achieve.

Although the two clubs spoke on Friday, there's been no breakthrough, with Chelsea yet to make a formal offer.
