The rule in Spain, and Spain only, is if you have a player ruled out for longer than 4 months through injury you can ask for special dispensation to bring in a player to replace them outside of the transfer window, but that player has to be from the Spanish League. In this instance they have been granted permission, which enabled them to basically ruin any hope Leganes had of avoiding relegation.
Imagine we were allowed to ask the PL for permission to sign a striker as Rashford is now out for the season, or Pogba even, and then we just rocked up at Wolves and paid the release clause for Neves or Jimenez and Wolves got no say in it and weren't themselves allowed to bring in a replacement
