Chelsea, PSG, and Three Other Big Clubs are Targeting Jules Kounde For a Summer Swoop!

La Liga giants Barcelona are considering selling one of their key defenders, Jules Kounde, due to an overcrowded backline and the club's financial needs as per reports.

Despite his excellent performance under manager Xavi, Kounde could be on the move this summer as several clubs across Europe are interested in signing the 25-year-old French international according to Mundo Deportivo.

Leading the pack are Chelsea, Manchester United, and Newcastle United from the Premier League. Paris Saint-Germain from France and Inter Milan from Serie A are also eyeing Kounde for next season. This interest reflects Kounde's talent and potential as a top-tier defender.

The Frenchman has been an intergral part of Barcelona's setup making 84 appearances for the club since his transfer from Sevilla in July 2022. This season, Kounde has played 44 games for the club in all competitions and has made the rightback position his own.

With Barcelona favouring to keep Ronald Araujo and also competing the signing of Joao Cancelo and Joao Felix, It is possible that Jules Kounde could be sacrificed if a worthy offer comes for the defender this summer.
