Barça will not be able to sign a replacement for Kun until January 1

Once the first medical communication of the Kun Agüero, al FC Barcelona It only remains to wait until January to be able to sign a player who can replace the Argentine. In the statement he explains that it will be in the coming months when the effectiveness of the treatment will be evaluated to determine his recovery process.

Those three months at least force the Barça club to have to wait for the new year to be able to sign. But, even if the sick leave had reached five months, it could not be replaced right now.

This is because the so-called long-term injuries and that until the beginning of last season 2020-2021 it allowed clubs to sign outside the usual transfer windows when the footballer’s injuries “entail a period of inactivity of more than five months.”

In fact, the FC Barcelona is already suffering from this situation with Martin Braithwaite that he underwent surgery on October 16 for his knee problems and practically lost the remainder of the season.

In both cases, for both the Danish and the Argentine, the club will have to wait until January 1, 2020 when the winter transfer window is scheduled to start in order to try to sign a player from any other team.

It will be then when not only will you be able to sign a player but also, in the case of European competitions, you could withdraw your card for the second tranche. That would mean that both the Danish and the Argentine could never participate in the direct playoffs in the Old Continent.
