Manchester City is determined to reinforce its defense and has clear its main goal: Jules Koundé. The English club is preparing an offer that would be around 80 million euros to try to convince Barcelona to part ways with one of its most important defenders. Pep Guardiola wants to strengthen the right flank after the departure of Kyle Walker to Burnley, and sees in the French international the versatility and solidity needed to continue competing at the highest level in the Premier League and in Europe.

At 26 years old, Koundé has established himself as one of the most complete defenders on the continent. Since joining Barcelona in 2022, after his time at Sevilla, he has made a qualitative leap that has placed him on the radar of top clubs. In three seasons with the Blaugrana, the Frenchman has played nearly 150 games, combining defensive solidity with significant offensive contributions for a defender, having scored seven goals and provided 18 assists. Additionally, his role in the French national team has solidified him as a key player in Didier Deschamps' scheme.

Manchester City Wants to Sign Jules Koundé

Despite City's ambition, the signing will not be easy. Barcelona is not keen on selling Koundé, especially as the Catalan club is negotiating a contract renewal with the player's entourage. Joan Laporta and the Blaugrana sporting direction know that losing a defender of that level would seriously weaken the defense, and in a market where top defenders are scarce, securing the Frenchman is a priority.

City, which has already explored alternatives like Valentino Livramento, has not found in the market a profile that combines experience, versatility, and guarantees like Koundé. Meanwhile, Rico Lewis has yet to establish himself on the right back, and Guardiola is looking for immediate solutions.

The ball is in Barcelona's court, as the club will need to decide whether to prioritize the financial boost from a million-euro sale or to keep Koundé as a cornerstone in its sporting project. The Manchester City's interest is serious, and the offer being prepared could be hard to refuse if it comes to fruition.
