Barcelona to Secure Jules Kounde with Lucrative Contract Extension Amid £100m Chelsea Interest

French defender Jules Kounde stands among other players who will likely join upcoming transfers. The Catalan club aims to secure Kounde’s services until 2030 despite his existing contract commitment until 2027.

Since the beginning of the year, FC Barcelona has been active in contract extensions with multiple team newcomers.

The team’s roster stability strengthened through the team’s extensions of Ronald Araujo and Pedri along with Gavi and Pau Cubarsi.

The negotiations to renew more Barcelona players will start within the subsequent weeks, according to Deco, who leads the Sporting Department.

Kounde secured the signing extension because of his stellar results in the present season. Returning to Spanish football as a centre-back originally, but Hansi Flick’s coaching has transformed Kounde into a dependable right-back who starts each game.

Kounde dominates the Camp Nou pitch with his solid performances which simultaneously attracted interest from international football clubs.

Chelsea Eye Jules Kounde For Summer Transfer

SPORT indicates Chelsea is prepared to submit a €100 million deal to acquire Kounde because the team previously failed to sign him while maintaining an ongoing interest.

Barcelona maintains its position against potential transfers. Barca aims to protect Kounde through a rock-solid release clause of €1 billion, which demonstrates his essential role in their strategic vision.

Barcelona avoids considering external offers because maintaining their essential team components stands as their main approach. Before the club negotiates with Raphinha about his new deal they will focus first on Kounde’s contract renewal because his current contract ends with Raphinha in 2027.

This extension will enable Barcelona to maintain well-protected coverage on the right defensive wing which will strengthen their squad together with Ronald Araujo and Hector Fort’s continued development.

The current season’s tactical approach, along with consistent improvement, demands that Barcelona secure players such as Jules Kounde. The contract extension allows Barcelona to create a stronger defensive team which will sustain both national and continental success over time.
