"The France international has mostly been a key player for Barca down the years, but it seems the club are now less sure about keeping him. According to Fichajes, Kounde could be available for around 80m this summer, with Premier League clubs on alert due to his versatility as one of his most appealing attributes. Kounde can play both centre-back and right-back to a high standard, and that could make him a useful addition for the likes of Man United and Liverpool."
"Fichajes claim there is great debate internally at Barcelona about Kounde's future, with his recent form leaving the club increasingly open to letting him go if the money is right. The former Sevilla player can still be a top performer on his day, but there are perhaps some signs of his decline, and that could mean now is a good time to try cashing in."
Jules Kounde could be available for around 80m this summer as Barcelona considers selling the France international amid internal debate over his future. Kounde offers versatility, performing at centre-back and right-back, making him attractive to top clubs including Manchester United, Liverpool, Chelsea and Bayern Munich. Barcelona perceive recent dips in form and may cash in while value persists. Liverpool face defensive needs after right-back injuries and central defence uncertainty. Manchester United need an upgrade at right-back and additional centre-back depth with Harry Maguire's contract situation unresolved.
