JUST IN: Barcelona Set to Extend Jules Koundé’s Contract in Major Boost for Flick
Barcelona are on the brink of securing a new long-term deal with French defender Jules Koundé, solidifying his future at the club for years to come. Negotiations are reportedly at an advanced stage, with both the player and club optimistic about finalizing the extension soon.
Koundé, who joined Barça from Sevilla in 2022, has become a vital part of the team’s defense, showcasing his ability to operate both as a center-back and right-back. Despite reported interest from top European clubs, the 25-year-old has expressed his commitment to staying in Catalonia and continuing his development under Hansi Flick.
The renewal is seen as a strategic move by Barcelona to secure their defensive core amid the rising market value of top defenders. If completed, the new contract will likely tie Koundé to Camp Nou well into the latter half of the decade.
An official announcement is expected in the coming day
