Al Ittihad is showing interest in Jules Koundé. Koundé was the second most used player by Xavi at Barcelona this season, playing many times both in the center of defense and on the right wing.

Saudi Pro League side Al Ittihad have entered the race to sign Jules Kounde, who could leave Barcelona this summer amid the club's ongoing financial crisis.

Al Ittihad is interested in signing Jules Koundé from Barcelona. The sports director of Al Ittihad, Ramon Planes, who was part of the structure of Barcelona, is keeping an eye on the French defender. Koundé, who is part of the French team that will play in Euro 2024, is reportedly happy at Barcelona, although he has been named as one of the possible transfers in the next market. Al Ittihad, third in the Saudi League, wants to take advantage of Barcelona's uncertain financial situation to seduce the club to sell Koundé. The 25-year-old defender has a contract with the Catalan club until 2027. Fellow Frenchmen N'Golo Kanté and Karim Benzema would have the task of convincing Koundé to join the Saudi team.
