Leganes ask LaLiga if they can sign replacement for Braithwaite Leganes Feel that current rule is very unfair

Leganes are expecting forward Martin Braithwaite to complete his move to Barcelona at some point on Wednesday, so they have asked LaLiga if they would be able to sign a replacement for the Dane.

As Barcelona will pay Braithwaite's release clause, Leganes are effectively powerless and would lose a player who could have a big impact on their hopes of remaining in the Spanish top flight without being able to bring someone in.

The current regulations would not allow Leganes to do so; the only way it could happen is if they had a long-term injury of their own.

From Leganes' perspective, they do not think that it is right that one of their players can be cherry-picked whilst then being unable to sign a replacement to make up for their loss.

Los Pepineros may issue a statement if Braithwaite is bought and they have no option to replace him to show their displeasure with this rule.
