Barcelona intends to bind the Chelsea destination Jules Kounde to a new long-term contract, reports that the Spain claims.
The Frenchman’s current Barcelona contract expires in 2027 and was signed when he arrived in the Sevilla club two and a half years ago.
Counde was initially moved into one of the two start-in backs in Barcelona, but he has developed into the best full-back in world football in order to provide high-quality overlap runs in addition to his defense tasks.
He is considered an essential player in Hansi Flicks squad, Spanish publication SPORT Report, and it is said that the Catalan giants intend to reward his achievements with a new long -term deal.
An intervention of fresh terms can finally be spoken of a change with great money to Chelsea, who was interested in Counds before his arrival in Barcelona. It is said that the blues could submit an offer of € 100 million (£ 83.3 million) this summer to develop a step, but Barcelona will return all progress.
Ronald Araujo and Pau Comatarsi have recently placed on new contracts by 2031 and 2029, while the graduates of Pedri and Gavi have also signed the La Masia Academy in Barcelona in the long run.
Barcelona Hope Counds will try to do the same with the incentive that he can play in Center-Back again if he enjoys playing under Flick and his specified status in Spain.
The report adds that the only planned overhaul of the defense of Barcelona is the addition of Jonathan Tah in a free transfer by Bayer Leverkusen. The German is no longer a contract this summer and is expected to drive to the potential costs of Eric Garcia or Andreas Christensen to Spain.
