Jules Koundé, tempted by Al-Ittihad of Saudi Arabia, feels important and very good at FC Barcelona. The French international, 25 years old and with a contract until 2027, gave an interview to the newspaper Le Parisien on the eve of the Eurocopa in which he spoke assuming his continuity in the Barça dressing room and leaving no room for doubt about a possible departure.
Jules Koundé, who arrived at Barcelona in the summer of 2022 from Sevilla, has a contract until June 2027. He is a valued player with a market, valued at around 50 million, but, for now, he has no intention of leaving Barça. The Sports Management considers that there is an excess of centrals in the squad and wants to make cash with some of them this summer. The versatility of the blue defender can 'save' him.
