The upcoming World Cup will be crucial for Jules Koundé, defender of the Spanish football team "Barcelona".
İdman.Biz reports with reference to "SPORT" that the Catalan representative will closely monitor the French football player's performance in the tournament. The club management may make a final decision regarding Koundé's future after the World Cup.
The 27-year-old defender's unstable performance in the 2025/2026 season has raised some questions in "Barcelona". Although the club believes in his professionalism and qualities, they expect the player to return to his previous level.
The main concern is related to the right-back position. After Eric Garcia's successful season, "Barcelona's" consideration of him as a more serious option in this position has weakened Koundé's status.
The Catalan club no longer considers the former "Sevilla" player untouchable. It is reported that if a serious offer is received in the summer, "Barcelona" may also discuss his sale.
Koundé has been called up to the French national team for the 2026 World Cup.
