Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) is ready to launch an impressive offer of 100 million euros to sign the French center-back Jules Koundé, currently at FC Barcelona. The defender, who has excelled under Hansi Flick's guidance, has been used as a right-back at the Catalan club, becoming a key player in the squad.
However, Paris' interest lies in adding him as a center-back to strengthen a top-notch defensive line that also features players like Achraf Hakimi, Nuno Mendes, and William Pacho.
PSG Wants to Sign Jules Koundé
Koundé, 25 years old and under contract with Barcelona until 2027, has caught the eye of Luis Enrique, the PSG coach, who is a loyal admirer of the defender and sees him as the perfect piece to consolidate his defensive system. PSG's intent is ambitious: they have put together a substantial amount, hoping that the 100 million euros will be irresistible to the Blaugrana board, which may consider a sale of this magnitude in the summer transfer market, although no clear stance has been taken yet.
Since arriving at Barcelona, Koundé has proven to be one of the best in his position, adapting well to both a four-man and five-man defensive line, which has increased his market value. PSG's proposal adds tension to the upcoming transfer market, as the French team aims to build an impenetrable defense and compete at the highest level in Europe.
It remains to be seen whether Barcelona will accept the offer, but all signs point to PSG's interest being firm and determined. With this sum on the table, Koundé could be one of the major moves in the next summer window.
