Two major European clubs are ready to battle it out for one of FC Barcelona’s most valuable defenders.
Jules Koundé, FC Barcelona’s French defender, is closely watched by two major Premier League clubs: Arsenal and Chelsea. Arsenal have already signalled their willingness to bid €75 million to sign him, as they look to strengthen their defence this summer. Koundé, who has been a key player for Barcelona, is among the most prominent defenders in La Liga.

Sale could solve Barcelona’s financial problems
Although FC Barcelona does not want to sell him, the club’s financial situation may force them to make difficult decisions. Barcelona will have to balance their accounts and reduce their squad, which could lead them to consider significant offers. This puts Koundé in a position where his future could lie outside the Camp Nou.
Arsenal are not alone London rivals Chelsea are also interested in the defender, which increases the competition for his signature. Both teams want to strengthen their defence and see that Koundé can be an outstanding addition. – Chelsea have come up with the calculator to see if they can bid over Arsenal and to present a plan that will be exciting for Jules Koundé.
Chelsea are after the weekend’s 2 – 2 game in the Premier League with Ipswich just outside the Champions League qualification in 6th place, while Arsenal are safely in 2nd place. Playing in Europe’s most prestigious tournament will be important for any player at Jules Koundé’s level.

Uncertain future
Koundé’s future at Barcelona is undecided. If the club decides to sell him due to financial problems, Arsenal and Chelsea will fight to secure his services. This transfer could be one of the most important of the summer.
If this becomes a reality, it could have major consequences for both Barcelona and the lucky club that secures him. 💰🔵🔴
