Jules Koundé, a 27-year-old defender and one of the best players at FC Barcelona, has entered the plans of Tottenham Hotspur for this summer transfer window. The English club is preparing a possible offer of 65 million euros, although Barça counts on the Frenchman to compete in LaLiga and has not opened negotiations for his departure.

The interest has not yet translated into a formal proposal. Tottenham is considering presenting that amount if they receive signals that the Blaugrana are willing to negotiate, a possibility that is not currently among the priorities of the sports management.

FC Barcelona Relies on Jules Koundé

The position of FC Barcelona is supported by Jules Koundé's contract, renewed in August 2025 until June 30, 2030. This association allows the club to control the timing and reject an operation that does not meet its sporting and economic interests.

Koundé usually plays at right-back, but he can also perform as a center-back. This ability to cover two positions reduces Barça's readiness to sell before the start of LaLiga, especially because any departure would require seeking a replacement during the same transfer window.

The French international arrived at Barcelona from Sevilla FC in 2022 through a deal of 50 million euros fixed plus variables. A sale for 65 million would allow them to recoup the initial investment and create a positive difference, but the sporting criteria weigh more at this moment.

The player himself has also commented on his future. Koundé stated at the beginning of June that he has a contract until 2030 and his intention is to continue, a stance that complicates Tottenham's attempt even if the English club ends up presenting the expected offer.

Tottenham Hotspur Needs to Strengthen Their Defense

Tottenham Hotspur values Jules Koundé for his ability to play both at right-back and in central defense. The London team seeks to reduce uncertainty in these two positions before finalizing their squad.

The future of Cristian Romero remains uncertain despite the Argentine having a contract until 2029. Inter Milan has held talks for the center-back, whose potential departure would leave a spot that Koundé could fill within the defensive line.

There are also doubts about the continuity of Djed Spence, a full-back who has been linked with Inter. The situation of both players explains why Tottenham is considering an investment of 65 million euros in a player capable of covering their positions.

The English club is not the only one who has been monitoring the Frenchman this summer. Bayern Munich has also been linked to his situation, although there is no offer on record that has altered Barcelona's plans.

Koundé on Tottenham's radar

An Operation Conditional on Barça's Decision

The amount prepared by Tottenham exceeds by 15 million euros the fixed amount paid by Barça in 2022. However, the contract duration, the player's will, and his utility in two positions place the Catalan club in a situation without pressure to sell.

The next step lies with the London team, which must decide whether to formalize their proposal despite the lack of willingness from Barcelona. Unless there is a change in FC Barcelona's stance or a request from the player, Jules Koundé will remain in the squad for the start of LaLiga.
