Barcelona Considering Offers for Kounde and Balde, but They Must Be Attractive

According to the latest report from "Mundo Deportivo", Barcelona are considering offers for Kounde and Balde internally.

It is reported that one of Barcelona's worrying problems is the right-back position. In theory, Flick already has a player who has occupied this position for the past two seasons, and this player is completely healthy and can play.

Kounde performed well last season and was a key figure in the team's success. He was one of the players who improved the most after Flick took office, especially in attack, but the impact of his decline in form this season cannot be ignored.

A hamstring injury in the second half of the season also made it difficult for him to play a more important role at the end of the season. His performance this season has been more unstable, and sometimes there are even defensive loopholes. He has lost the stability he showed in Flick's first year in charge.

Kounde's outstanding performance last season earned him a contract extension until 2030 and an improved salary. However, his position in the team seems to have changed, and he no longer occupies the starting right-back position as firmly as before.

Flick chose Eric Garcia in the Clásico, and Garcia, as always, showed tenacious defense, effectively limiting Vinicius' performance. Flick is also seeking a balance on the flanks, allowing Cancelo to appear more on the left.

The club is considering offers for Kounde and Balde (as well as other players), but of course, these offers must be quite attractive to be taken seriously. The final decision naturally rests with Kounde, who has four years left on his contract.

The French defender will certainly get opportunities in the upcoming games, and Flick will arrange his playing time reasonably. He also has the World Cup to participate in, and he is expected to play an important role in the World Cup. It is worth mentioning that Kounde was one of the most low-key people in the championship parade.
