FC Barcelona have officially announced that Jules Koundé has signed a new long-term contract, committing his future to the club until June 2030. The French international has emerged as a key pillar in the Catalan club’s defense since his arrival, and this new agreement further cements his importance in Barcelona’s sporting project under manager Hansi Flick.
The renewal is seen as a strategic move by Barça’s leadership, reflecting their unwavering faith in Koundé’s abilities, professionalism, and contribution both on and off the pitch. Since joining the club from Sevilla in 2022, Koundé has demonstrated remarkable versatility, having featured as both a central defender and right-back, adapting to the team’s needs with consistency and composure.
Over the past two seasons, the 25-year-old has made over 90 appearances in all competitions, proving himself as a reliable defensive presence while also offering composure in possession and leadership qualities. His ability to read the game, combined with his athleticism and intelligence, has made him one of the most trusted figures in Barcelona’s backline.
This contract renewal not only rewards Koundé’s performances but also aligns with Barcelona’s broader plan to build a competitive, stable core of players heading into a new era of ambition, discipline, and long-term planning. With fellow stars like Ronald Araújo, Pedri, and Gavi also tied down to extended deals, Barça is actively ensuring continuity and quality across all areas of the pitch.
Koundé’s extension comes at a crucial time as Barcelona prepare for a highly competitive 2025–26 season. The club will be aiming to reclaim domestic dominance and challenge for European glory, and securing the futures of their key assets is essential to those aspirations.
Speaking on the renewal, club sources have praised Koundé’s attitude, commitment, and growth, describing him as “a player who represents the values of Barcelona both professionally and personally.”
With the deal now officially signed and sealed, fans can expect to see Jules Koundé continue anchoring the Blaugrana defense for years to come an integral part of the club’s next chapter.
