Barca sets €50M+ price for Kounde
18 Jul
Summary
- Barcelona seeks €50-60 million for defender Jules Kounde.
- Bayern Munich values Kounde significantly lower at €40 million.
- No active negotiations as valuation gap persists between clubs.
FC Barcelona is considering offers for defender Jules Kounde, but insists any sale must reflect his true market value. The club rates the French international highly and will only consider offers in the €50-60 million range. This valuation is a key sticking point, as interested party Bayern Munich reportedly values Kounde at approximately €40 million. This substantial difference has prevented any active negotiations, with only initial enquiries having been made.
As a result, a transfer is not considered a realistic possibility at this time. Barcelona has not received any formal offers and is under no pressure to sell. Consequently, Kounde is expected to remain an important member of the squad for the upcoming season, provided no club meets the club's valuation. Should Kounde depart, Barcelona admires Tottenham's Pedro Porro, though a deal for him would also be challenging due to his recent contract renewal.
