Manchester United has set its sights on Jules Koundé and is already working on a proposal of 80 million euros to convince FC Barcelona to part ways with the French defender in the upcoming summer market. The Old Trafford board considers him the ideal piece to strengthen their defense, and the economic offer would include a contract with a considerably higher salary than what he currently earns at the Camp Nou.

Koundé's relationship with the Barça coaching staff has had certain ups and downs this season, especially after Hans-Dieter Flick decided to bench him in the match against Rayo Vallecano for disciplinary reasons. It is not the first time the player has been sanctioned in this way, causing some unrest in the dressing room. Despite this, he remains a key player for the team, accumulating more minutes than any other player in the squad.

Manchester United Wants to Sign Jules Koundé

Rubén Amorim has demanded a deep reconstruction of the squad and believes that the former Sevilla player would fit perfectly into his scheme. The 'Red Devils' seek to improve their defensive performance after an inconsistent campaign and see in Koundé a safe bet for his versatility and solidity at the back.

However, Barcelona maintains a firm stance. Joan Laporta and Deco do not consider the departure of the center-back and trust that he will continue to be a pillar in the project. Additionally, the player's entourage has shown no signs of wanting to leave Camp Nou. Nevertheless, United's offer could test Barça's stance, especially if the club's economic needs necessitate a reassessment of their position in the summer.
