Barcelona 'need to bring in £17m before they can register Jules Kounde' as they scramble to sell outcasts Aubameyang, Depay, Umtiti, Braithwaite and Dest... as a frustrated Xavi insists 'it doesn't bother me' that his fringe players want to stick around

Xavi's Barcelona side are 'anxious to offload players' as they look to raise the '£17 million needed to register new signing Jules Kounde'.

Kounde is the only one of the Catalan Giants' summer signings that is yet to be registered, and has missed the club's first two league games after joining for £46m from Sevilla.

The money needed to register Kounde is likely to be raised by selling fringe players, with the likes of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang linked to Chelsea and Manchester United, while Memphis Depay is in talks with Juventus.
