Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) would be ready to spend 100 million euros to recruit Jules Koundé, 25-year-old central defender from Barcelona, according to the Spanish press. But in France, a PSG insider denies it.
Jules Koundé at PSG? Currently under contract with the Catalan club until 2027, Jules Koundé pleases Hansi Flick, the new Barça coach. But Luis Enrique also really likes it. The PSG coach would like to add him to his defensive arsenal, to relieve Achraf Hakimi and William Pacho.
PSG's interest is to position Koundé as a central defender to further solidify its defensive line. With this important proposal, the club hopes to convince Barcelona management to accept this sale during the next summer transfer window. Since arriving at Barcelona, Koundé has established himself among the best in his position and demonstrated his versatility in different defensive setups, which has further increased his value.
Rumor, simple rumor?
It remains to be seen whether Barcelona will accept the offer, but PSG's interest is clear and resolute. Such a sum could make Koundé one of the big deals of the upcoming summer window, as PSG look to build an impregnable defense to compete with the best teams in Europe.
However, PSG insider Djamel denied X. With a simple Pinocchio emoji, but it's pretty clear, the rumor is just a rumor….
