These two big PL Clubs eye Jules Koundé amid Barcelona uncertainty

Manchester United and Chelsea have set their sights on FC Barcelona’s Jules Koundé, who remains under contract with the Spanish club. Despite being a key figure in Barcelona’s defense, sources close to the Catalan club suggest that the French international might become a surprising departure this summer.

Reports indicate that Barcelona could consider using the former FC Sevilla player as part of a potential exchange deal, provided attractive offers come their way.

Amidst this uncertainty, Manchester United and Chelsea have emerged as prominent contenders for Koundé’s signature.

According to SPORT, the English giants are keenly interested in securing the services of the talented French defender.

Manchester United, under the management of Erik Ten Hag, is reported to be further along in their pursuit, with preparations for an initial offer exceeding 60 million euros.

While Chelsea’s intentions haven’t been officially announced, the Blues are expected to make a strong move in the upcoming transfer window.

It’s worth noting that Arsenal had also been linked to  Jules Koundé in previous speculation.

The situation continues to unfold, and developments are eagerly anticipated.
