Jules Kounde’s Barcelona future has been a hot topic on Tuesday, following reports that the Frenchman is open to leaving Barcelona in the summer, just one year after signing from Sevilla.
Kounde has been a regular starter for Barcelona this season, albeit at right back, with his preferred position being in central defence. This is reportedly one of the reasons why he is open to leaving.
Barcelona’s Director of Football Mateu Alemany was asked on the speculation surrounding Kounde, and he refused to comment on the story either way, as per DAZN (via MD).
“These are internal situations that we will resolve internally.”
Barcelona have put a steep price tag on Kounde’s head, and if he does go, Villarreal’s Juan Foyth will be targeted as his replacement, according to Gerard Romero.
It is a situation that is sure to see developments over the next few weeks. Kounde has been open about his grievances about playing at right back, and it could leave that he leaves Barcelona this summer.

If he like to leave let him go with good prices and go Juan Foyt and find another free transfer from Frankfurt Germany the guy is really good too and Barcelona can use the remaining money for another business

Xavi can't be wasting players like this! He assured Kounde about playing in his natural position, so why frustrate such a fine defender this way? And what is taking Barca so long to sign a right back at all? It's becoming embarrassing and frustrating how Xavi seems to be handling this team.
Either you don't watch Barcelona matches with Kounde playing. He shd leave immediately. I'm sure that's Xavi's plan. Frustrate him till he leaves. The guy is a problem to our defence line. I hope Chelsea go for him

kounde can leave for all I care, since he returned back from world cup he's been very sluggish and very prone to errors. He has scored two own goals this season and in the last match against real sociedad he was played in his preferred position, he still committed an error that led to goal. players all have their preferred and best positions they played in but, at times situation might warrant a player being played out of position. Barcelona have had quite a number of player played in the no 2 position that are aren't their preferred position but, they weren't complaining. S. Roberto has been debuting there for several seasons as well as Aroujo, even balde had played the no 2 pos in some matches, not to mention Eric garcia who played there in the second half match against Valladolid today.

is like u are not a Barca fan? what made him a fine defender? he is a very sluggish players and inconsistent. if there is a good offer on his head, i would prefer Barca to cash out on him. Inigo Martinez is coming, and Christensen is player well, better than him.

Let him go, he is a sluggish player.
And why should you waste such a fine, young defender cos of Barca's wastefulness? Why sign him in the first place? And what's taking Barca forever to sign a right back? Xavi hasn't convinced me at all. Wasting promising players for nothing. If Kounde leaves the club this way, some of us would start calling for Xavi's head. After all, we campaigned and pray for Koeman to be booted out for him, in the first place and cannot tolerate this seeming incompetence any longer.
