PSG: Jules Koundé in Paris, Barça’s crazy response

Long criticized in this position, Jules Koundé now acts as a sure bet at the right-back position in Europe. The Barcelona and Blues defender is so strong that PSG would like to recruit him at a high price.

According to information from the Spanish press, Paris Saint-Germain is very interested in Jules Koundé. A central defender by training, the FC Barcelona player is now a reference at the right-back position, where he is used by Hansi Flick as well as Didier Deschamps. PSG appreciates the profile of the former Bordeaux player and would be ready to sign a huge check for 100 million euros to recruit him and thus strengthen their defense with a versatile player who would make Luis Enrique happy.

With such an offer and knowing Barça's economic difficulties, PSG certainly thought they would win. But according to information from the Sport newspaper, the current leader of La Liga has made a surprising decision regarding Jules Koundé by rejecting all offers, including the rather crazy one from Paris Saint-Germain. And for good reason, Barça wishes to keep an important backbone to supervise its golden youth and as in the French team, Jules Koundé is now one of the captains in the Barça locker room. The Blaugrana club also has no obligation to sell Jules Koundé because his contract still runs until 2027.

Barcelona refuses 100 million euros for Koundé

A hard blow for Paris SG but not only since the player trained at the Girondins de Bordeaux has attracted a lot of desire in recent months, particularly in the Premier League, where Manchester United and other clubs followed his situation with the greatest vigilance. Faced with this surprise refusal from Barça, PSG should not fall into the game of overbidding, especially since Luis Campos clearly sent the message that he no longer wanted to pay players above their real market value these days. recent months. We will therefore have to forget the Jules Koundé track for Paris SG, with regret as the French international could have rendered proud services to the capital club.
