Pablo Torre Relegated to Barcelona’s B Team So Catalan Club Could Register Defender Jules Koundé

• Barcelona had to make a choice between registering Jules Koundé and Pablo Torre for the new season
• Jules Koundé made his first competitive appearance for Barcelona in their match against Real Valladolid
• Pablo Torre will spend the season in the third division if Barcelona don't move him to the first team before Thursday

Barcelona finally registered Jules Koundé last weekend, but the move came at the expense of one of their other players.

Koundé missed the first two games of the season as the Catalan club were unable to register him.

They finally managed to get the registration done before the game against Real Valladolid, but to do so, they registered Pablo Torre with the Barcelona Atletic.

Barcelona Atletic, or Barcelona B as they are known, play in the third division of Spanish football.

As reported by SportBible, Torre will have to remain in the third division if Barcelona can’t move him back to the first team before the transfer window closes on Thursday.

Torre, a 19-year-old talented midfielder, was signed by Barcelona in June from racing Santander and was expected to be given a chance in the first team this season.

As noted by Football Espana, Torre would be loaned back to Racing after securing a move to Barca, with Racing offering to pay 40% of his salary.

A disagreement between Xavi and Barcelona’s Director of Football, Mateu Alemany, ended that idea. Alemany didn’t like the idea of Torre going out on loan. Torre will now face a nervy three-day period as he waits to see for which team he will be playing his football this season.
