Barcelona has reportedly set a price tag of €80 million for Jules Kounde following interest from Chelsea. According to reports, the London club is seriously considering the 27-year-old as a replacement for Malo Gusto should he complete a move to Manchester City.
However, the Catalan club has no intention of letting the Frenchman go this summer for a lower fee. Despite a market value of €60 million on Transfermarkt, Barcelona is holding firm on their valuation.
Kounde has been a key part of the Barcelona squad since joining from Sevilla in 2022, with his current contract running until 2030. In the previous season, he made 30 La Liga appearances, recording one goal and three assists.
