Barcelona will listen to offers for the signing of economic leverage only two years later

Barcelona will be forced into at least one major sale this summer, and would probably like to make one or two more to shore up their accounts. Jules Kounde was chosen as one of his assets that could be moved this summer.

The Frenchman was destined to be a strategic signing for years to come, arriving alongside Raphinha and Robert Lewandowski when president Joan Laporta executed the economic levers that cause so many extravaganzas at present. However, relations have deteriorated somewhat over the past 12 months.

Kounde has not continued the development he showed at Sevilla, and has been unhappy playing out of position at right-back more often, despite Xavi Hernandez promising to return to his position this season with the arrival by Joao Cancelo. MD say Barcelona will listen to offers for him this summer.

They are well equipped in the middle of the defense, with Ronald Araujo one of the pieces that they will try to renew. Inigo Martinez has just arrived, and Andreas Christensen is another case that is up in the air, like Barcelona wait to see how the pivot experiment goes, while the young Pau Cubarsi will become a regular member of the first team next year.

Ultimately, the defining factor was Kounde's performances. At the beginning of this season, Kounde had a run in central defense where he looked like his old self, but among numerous problems for the Blaugrana in defense, his level has been below that of his competition where he has played from a injured in September.
