Barcelona's key defender Jules Kounde is expected to secure a new long-term contract with the club amidst transfer interest from Chelsea. Chelsea is seeking defensive reinforcements, but Kounde, who is inclined to stay with Barcelona and has had encouraging talks regarding his contract extension, remains focused on his role. At 26, he has performed consistently, missing no games this season and feeling valued in the team. His versatility further enhances his status as an essential player at Barcelona, in contrast to Ronald Araujo, who faces uncertainty regarding his position in the squad.
Kounde's versatility to play both centrally and on the right has made him an attractive option for Chelsea, despite his desire to extend his contract with Barcelona.
His consistent performance and importance to Barcelona motivate him to seek a new contract, reflecting positive early talks with the club's sporting department.
