Barcelona have been given permission by La Liga to sign a replacement for injured Ousmane Dembele.
Dembele, who suffered a complete hamstring tear in his right thigh, was ruled out for six months.
According to La Liga rules, having a player ruled out for at least five months with injury gave a club the right to ask for permission to sign a striker out of the transfer window, but only to play for the club in La Liga.
Barcelona now have fifteen days to sign a player from a La Liga club or a free agent.
Getafe's Angel and Alaves' Lucas Perez were close but now Leganes' Martin Braithwaite seems the most likely option Barcelona will choose.

I would openly receive Dembele at Chelsea. He deserve a best treatment and the best league. Chelsea board swap Willian for Dembele plus 30million he is worth it.

Bias system, we have way more injuries than barca and we're not being given permission to sign anyone, the transfer window was opened in January and barca knew dembele was injured, why didn't they buy a replacement then, system is unfair

Now that's what we call favouritism. It's obvious to the whole Europe(or world) that which team is the most favourite of all the football governing bodies and which is the least favourite.
