Barcelona is not hesitant to sell their €50 million defender amid interest from Premier League clubs. The Spanish giants spent the summer attempting to reduce their squad size and salary bill, with mixed results. They will likely need to make more departures next summer to prepare for another season at the Camp Nou. Jules Kounde, a former Sevilla centre-back, is one player likely to be sold.
Reports indicate that Barcelona is open to parting ways with Kounde as part of their squad clearout. The club received interest from several European clubs, including three Premier League teams, and Bayern Munich. However, Paris Saint-Germain has shown no interest in pursuing Kounde. Kounde's current position as the third-choice right-back behind Eric Garcia has led to him starting only two matches this season.
With Andreas Christensen injured, Kounde may see more playing time as a left-sided centre-back. If he performs well in the upcoming matches, his market value could reach €50 million, as Barcelona anticipates.
