Khaberni - Media reports revealed that the clubs of the English Premier League have placed French international Jules Kounde at the top of their priorities for signing during the upcoming summer transfer period.
Mundo Deportivo newspaper reported that Barcelona knew that the right back has caught the attention of many major clubs, with Liverpool, Manchester City, and Chelsea closely monitoring him.
It continued: "If a very attractive offer comes in, the club might consider letting him go".
Jules Kounde (27 years old) is a key player in Hansi Flick's lineup and is considered the preferred choice for right back, as demonstrated by Barcelona's renewal of his contract in August last year until 2030.
It was mentioned that the Catalan club was aware of the interest of the clubs in the French defender.
Deco explained to Mundo Deportivo: "There was no official offer, but Manchester City contacted to inquire about the possibility of signing him. Since we refused, there was no offer".
According to the same source, he is recently linked to joining Liverpool, who are looking for a strong defensive full-back after signing striker Frimpong last summer.
Chelsea also continues to monitor the player, who they had wanted to sign before he joined Barcelona, closely.
Mundo Deportivo stated that everything depends on whether the clubs' interest in Kounde will turn into an official offer.
According to Transfermarkt, Kounde's market value is 65 million euros.
Recent reports in England stated that Liverpool is considering investing up to 80 million euros to sign him.
It continued: "If this scenario materializes, it would be difficult for Barcelona to reject such a sizable offer, which would also mean the player's agreement".
