Jules Koundé Consider your departure from FC Barcelona in the next summer transfer market.
According to sources close to the player, Koundé has communicated his desire to leave the club to coach Xavi Hernández.
The reason why Koundé thinks of leaving FC Barcelona
The main reason behind his decision lies in his dissatisfaction with playing the right-back role throughout the current season. The prominent presence of Andreas Christensen and Ronald Araujo in the center of defense has led Koundé to be moved to the right flank. Although he has shown his versatility and adaptability, the Frenchman is looking forward to returning to his preferred position as central defender.
His goal is to be an important figure in that position within another elite club in Europe. It is interesting to note that, according to rumors, FC Barcelona has no intention of signing a right-back in the next summer transfer market. This situation has led Koundé to reconsider his future at the club, since he does not see immediate possibilities of resuming his desired position in the Catalan team.
The player is convinced that his talent and ability could be better used at another institution where he can play as a centre-back.
The good news for Jules Koundé is that Barcelona would be willing to consider offers for his transfer. The Catalan club’s board is open to selling the talented defender if an attractive offer arrives that allows them to finance the signing of Martín Zubimendi, Xavi Hernández’s favorite to replace Sergio Busquets in midfield. Busquets ends his contract this summer and will leave the club to continue his career at another institution.
Koundé’s possible departure could generate great expectations in the transfer market, as the player has left a favorable impression with his performances at both Barcelona and Sevilla, his previous club. Several top-tier teams in Europe will surely be interested in signing the talented French defender.
