Jules Koundé and Barcelona update.
The latest news about transfers in the FC Barcelona camp is very unexpected. The French defender Koundé joined Barcelona on July 28, 2022. He arrived in Barcelona with great expectations.
Xavi Hernandez
Koundé made a very good performance this season. The French boy also won La Liga with the Barcelona team. Everything was thought to be going well, but Jules Koundé has recently shown dissatisfaction. The defender is unhappy with the position that Xavi has activated in 90% of the matches. The position that Xavi Hernandez has placed Koundé is the right defender.
Jules Koundé Future
The Frenchman’s favorite position is a central defender. But not having a consolidated player on the right wing, Xavi prefers Kounde to play on the right. This dissatisfaction of Jules Koundé has not gone unnoticed by many European clubs.
Man United on Koundé
One of the big clubs that has shown interest is Manchester United. The defense of the Red Devils is overpopulated with very high-quality players. Although it is a department with many class names, the approach of Jules Koundé would form a very strong duo with Lisandro Martínez.
The Argentine defender is the winner of the World Cup with his national team Argentina and is now enjoying excellent form. But to secure the services of the Frenchman, Manchester United must pay around £70m. FC Barcelona will not consider any offer below this amount.
These are the statistics of the defender of the year 2022-2023 in La Liga. Jules Koundé has made 27 appearances. Among these, he scored 1 goal and gave 3 assists. In 72% of cases, he started from the first minute.
He played in 69% of the minutes and took part in 6% of the scored goals. It is impressive because he has not received a single red card but only 2 yellow cards during this entire season.
