In a key development, Barcelona are prepared to consider selling Jules Kound, with Chelsea already making enquiries about the financial conditions required to sign the French defender.
Indeed, according to journalist Matteo Moretto, the Catalan club no longer consider the 27-year-old untouchable and believe his departure could generate a significant transfer fee.
The development marks a notable change in Barcelona’s position on a player who has been an important part of their defence in recent seasons. Kounde’s uncertain standing in Hansi Flick’s team, combined with the club’s potential financial incentive to sanction a sale and reinvest in the squad, could open the door to a move away from the Spotify Camp Nou.
