The French defender definitely got tired of playing in a position that is not the usual one, and after insisting so much on his coach to change him, he has decided better to remove him from circulation in his squad.
The situation between the defender Jules Koundé and the coach of FC Barcelona, Xavi Hernández, has already passed the threshold of the complicated. There has not been a good working relationship between the two, and all because their visions collide head-on. And it is that while he French alleges that he does not want to play more as a right back, the mister tells him that there are no more ways.
Jules Koundé stood out in the center of the rear when he was a member of Sevilla FC, and due to his performance, he was able to leave for more than 50 million euros for Barcelona. But the Catalan coach doesn’t care about that, and he is the only thing he can offer the French defender. So the situation has become tense, and it seems that the footballer is the one who will step aside.
FC Barcelona accepts the departure of Koundé under certain parameters
Joan Laporta considers that the 24-year-old player is very important for the squad, even if Xavi is not putting him in his rightful place. The Frenchman wants to continue to be a member of the culé club, but from his original position. But the coaching staff insists that the center of the rear is occupied by Ronald Araújo and Andreas Christensen.
In this way, the former Sevilla has decided to leave the Spotify Camp Nou if Xavi continues with the idea of placing him as a winger. The sporting and general management of the Barça team has decided that this will be the case, but under certain conditions. The most important is that the offer must be greater than 70 million euros, despite the fact that Barcelona invested 50 kilos.
Second condition of FC Barcelona to open the door to Koundé
They precisely want to ask for more money than they invested in the defense, to sign a guarantee replacement, and who is up to their standards. Thus, the second condition that Laporta, Alemany and Xavi put to sign the departure of the French defender, is that the operation to replace it in the template has already been completed.
At the moment there are two players who sound the most on the agenda of the culé sports management. The first of them is the Argentine Juan Foyth, valued at 25 million euros, but with a clause of 50 kilos. The second is the Portuguese Joao Cancelo, who has not had a good level at Bayern Munich. In the summer market he will return to Manchester City where he will leave the Etihad Stadium again.
