August 2025
Jules Kounde has agreed to a new long-term contract with Barcelona until 2030, turning down transfer interest from Manchester City. Despite Pep Guardiola’s side eyeing Kounde as an option after ruling out Tino Livramento, the French defender opted to remain at Barça. He played 53 matches last season, scoring four goals, including one in the Copa del Rey final.
