Barcelona open to Kounde sale; Three Premier League giants interested In a surprising revelation, it has come to light that Barcelona are prepared to consider offers for Jules Kounde this summer, but only if there is a considerable offer. While the defender remains a regular starter, the club is aware of his strong market demand and is not closing the door on a potential exit. According to Mundo Deportivo , Barcelona’s position is that Kounde will only be sold if a significant bid arrives.
The Frenchman is still viewed as an important player, but the club recognise that his value could be maximised in the upcoming transfer window. As such, interest from top European sides continues to build. Just last summer, Manchester City made contact to check on his availability.
Barcelona rejected the approach, and no formal offer followed. Premier League is interested Now, multiple clubs are monitoring the situation closely. As per the outlet, Liverpool are searching for a defensively reliable full-back, while Manchester City remain interested after their previous enquiry.

It is also said that although Barcelona would ideally want to keep him to maintain defensive stability, they know they would be unable to match the financial offers from Premier League clubs.
