The past month of February, the FC Barcelona decided to bet by the signing of Martin Braithwaite to reinforce the forward after the relapse of Ousmane Dembélé, whose medical proofs gave like result a period of recovery of six months after his operation. The rule of LaLiga Santander in these cases allows to inscribe to new footballers out of term in cases of drops by long injuries.
This rule has some peculiarities. The first is that the players that can be fichados have to or be without team or not playing in a foreign league by what Braithwaite, that played in the Leganés, could be fichado by his clause of rescission (18 million euros). The another peculiarity is that, when being an exclusive norm of LaLiga, the signings out of term can not play in the Champions League.
Braithwaite Is one of these cases. The Danish forward arrived, as we have commented, the past month of February, moment in which the lists of registration of the Champions League already were closed and did not admit modifications. It was, therefore, a signing that only could be useful for the parties of LaLiga Santander, although the situation could change because of the proposal that the ECA has made him to the UEFA.
According to the informations published by the Sportive World, the UEFA has to decide if it will allow, in front of the exceptional situation, the registration of players to cover eventual injuries or even positive by coronavirus produced of here from now on, in case that the players affected can not reappear in what it subtracts of campaign in Champions League and Europe League.
The Executive Committee of the maximum organism futbolístico continental gathers on 17 June and would decide on this proposal that, remember, only would affect to lesionados or infected from now on. That's why Braithwaite could not be inscribed to cover the place of Dembélé, but it could go in in case that some another player inscribed was drop for what remains of season 2019-20.
Other examples of players that could play
Of the same way that the Barça could inscribe to Braithwaite, there are other clubs that could 'reinforce' with other no inscribed players. The Real Madrid, for example, could have the Brazilian Reinier, that arrived in January and was not inscribed. Merih Demiral (Juventus), Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting (PSG), Faouzi Ghoulam (Naples), Kevin Malcuit (Naples), Amin Younes (Naples), Nicolas Kühn (Bayern) or Jann-Fiete Arp (Bayern) are other examples of which were not inscribed by several reasons.
