Barcelona's right-back Jules Kounde may leave the club in the summer. Sport24.az reports this with reference to Mundo Deportivo.
According to the source, Liverpool, Manchester City, and Chelsea are interested in the French player. In particular, the Reds are planning to strengthen the defense with a more reliable defender. Liverpool are ready to offer around 80 million euros for Kounde.
The Catalan club highly values the 27-year-old player and wants to keep him in the team, but they understand that if a serious offer is made, it will be difficult to meet financial requirements.
If the transfer takes place, Barcelona intends to use the proceeds to strengthen its squad. Atletico Madrid forward Julian Alvarez and Inter defender Alessandro Bastoni are on the list of candidates. As a replacement for Kounde, the Catalans are considering extending the contract with Joao Cancelo or transferring Juventus defender Andrea Cambiaso.
It should be noted that he has been playing for Barcelona since the summer of 2022, moving from Sevilla. This season, he has scored 3 goals and provided 4 assists in 40 matches.
