Liverpool are showing interest to sign Barca star this summer. The player is also wanted by Arsenal and Chelsea. The Reds are ready to beat both of these clubs by spending big.
The star in question here is Jules Kounde. The French star joined Barca in 2022 as a centre-back. But, he has now adapted and established himself as one of the best right-backs in the world. He is 26 years old and playing a big role for Spanish giants under Hansi Flick.
Chelsea are showing interest in Kounde yet again. They tried to sign him in 2022 but lost to Barca in the race. But, they have not given up on the Frenchman as they feel need to improve on the right. The Blues are worried about injury issue of Reece James whereas Malo Gusto has failed to impress.
Arsenal are also willing to sign Kounde this summer. They actually have a very good squad depth but some current stars may leave the club. Hence, Mikel Arteta may ask the board to bring in some versatile defenders.
Liverpool keen to sign Jules Kounde this summer
According to El Nacional via 90 min, Liverpool have joined the race for Jules Kounde. They view the French star as a perfect replacement for Trent Alexander-Arnold. The Reds are also willing to spend €70 million on the 26 year old this summer.
Trent Alexander-Arnold is said to leave Liverpool this summer. He is linked very heavily with Real Madrid. The Reds view this as a massive blow as he is their academy graduate and on top of that he will leave as a free agent.
However, it will not be easy for Liverpool to sign Kounde this summer. Barca view him as a very important player in the squad. The Frenchman is also very happy at Spain and may opt to stay with them for a longer duration of time.
