Barcelona are determined to strengthen their defence this summer transfer window according to Mundo Deportivo and have identified two centre-backs that they believe would help them to achieve that goal – Jules Kounde and Kalidou Koulibaly.
The club already have the signature of Chelsea defender Andreas Christensen secured although it has not yet been made official. He will join Barcelona on a free transfer this summer.
But it will be difficult to land the signature of Kounde and Koulibaly, of Sevilla and Napoli respectively. Both players are on the market this close-season but have no shortage of suitors in La Liga, Serie A and, of course, the Premier League.
Chelsea and Newcastle United are both keen on Kounde, who is expected to leave the Sanchez-Pizjuan this summer for a fee in the region of €65m. Koulibaly is entering the final year of his contract at the Diego Armando Maradona and is thought to command a similar fee. Juventus, Paris Saint-Germain, Internazionale, Roma, Aston Villa and Newcastle are interested.

Barca lack of funds will kill their dreams for years to come.
What does that mean you fool who don't understand financial management of a football team. When did buy Torres and when did he become a Barcelona player? Blind follower open your heart & soul to learn or read newspapers online!

That aside he’s 5’11, not very effective against headers in the box

I think joules is not a good option. I think he is like araujo agressive defender with better ball control. I think it's better to sign a defender who is clam an good at ball like van dijk or Pau Torres or Tiago

Imagine Seville is selling Diego Carlos to Aston Villa.

bro is not that Barca doesn't have the money to buy but wage structure Tabes has implemented that is causing the problem. Remember Spotify deal, Coutinho sales. the whole season tickets sale, wage reduction, CVC deal, Barcelona mechanising license and many more but maybe think Barca is broken but gradually Tabes is destroying the league. Valencia is now looking for buyers to sell his valuable player.

Barcelona has no money to buy any player above 30 million, the app should stop over hypertension to Barca fans. how can a brokerage team like Barcelona will sign any player except on free transfer
