Jules Koundé, the 27-year-old French right-back, is on the radar of Chelsea's transfer market and Liverpool for the January window, as reported by Ekrem Konur. The Barcelona player is interested in returning to London, while Xabi Alonso is looking to reinforce the right-back position of the London team.

Jules Koundé gains prominence in Chelsea's agenda

Chelsea is once again linked with Koundé after trying to sign him in 2022, when the Frenchman ended up leaving Sevilla for Barcelona for €50 million. Now, Stamford Bridge club is reassessing his situation with a possible inclusion in January.

Konur's information positions the player as an option that interests Xabi Alonso for reinforcing the right-back position. The Spanish coach is already familiar with Koundé from his time in LaLiga and aims to increase the alternatives in that position during the second half of the season.

The contractual context complicates any operation. Koundé renewed with Barcelona in August 2025, extending his contract until June 30, 2030. The Catalan club officially confirmed that extension.

Additionally, the player had publicly ruled out an exit during the past summer. In June 2026, Koundé mentioned having a contract until 2030 and expressed his intention to stay at Barcelona.

Liverpool also monitoring Koundé's situation

Liverpool, along with Chelsea, is among the Premier League clubs tracking Koundé. However, available information does not mention any formal offer from either team or ongoing negotiations with Barcelona for January.

English interest arises as Koundé has lost some of his prominence at the start of the season. According to AS, the Frenchman had only played 90 minutes in two matches during the initial rounds, with Eric García more frequently occupying the right-back role.

This situation doesn't imply that Barcelona has decided to sell him. The contract until 2030 maintains the club in a contractual control position, and current reports only indicate a monitoring of his status, while clubs like Bayern Munich have also inquired about his situation.

The price will be another aspect of the deal

Published figures on a potential sale do not align. Sports Mole suggests a possible evaluation of £45 million, while other sources indicate Koundé as a higher-value target due to his existing contract. None of these amounts correspond to a confirmed official offer.

Capology mentions an estimated €1 billion release clause, although his salary and contractual data should be seen as estimations unless officially confirmed.

For now, the upcoming January window will be the opportunity to finalize the operation. Chelsea and Liverpool will need to decide whether to submit an offer, while Barcelona will assess any propositions for Jules Koundé, who has a contract until 2030 and is once again linked to a possible return to the Premier League.
