Jules Koundé would already have everything agreed to renew with Barça until 2030, according to French media. The announcement would be imminent
FC Barcelona would have already finalized the renewal of Jules Koundé. The 26-year-old French right-back will extend his contract with the Blaugrana team until 2030, an announcement that should be made official by the Culé team in the coming days.
This information was endorsed by a couple of French media outlets, L’Équipe and RMC Sport, which assert that the agreement is already closed and ready, just waiting for the official statement. This could even occur in the midst of the 2025/26 pre-season Asian tour, which the Catalan team has just embarked on.
Koundé, who had a contract with Barcelona until June 30, 2027, would already have a total agreement with the Blaugrana team, according to journalist Fabrizio Romano. The green light from the Parisian's entourage would have arrived days ago, with Deco as the main architect of the operation.
- 📌 THE FACT: Jules Koundé is expected to sign next week, with the formal steps planned for the coming days.
Barcelona will secure one of their most reliable defenders
This new contract would be the natural consequence of an agreement that was already well underway. His representative, Jonathan Kebe, and Deco himself had already held more than one meeting in the past to express FC Barcelona's firm desire to definitively secure the French defender, one of the key names in the Flick era.
And how could they not, if the Parisian, in the 2024/25 season, despite not being a natural right-back, fully embraced that demarcation. He stepped up, playing 53 matches, with four goals and eight assists, leaving pleasant sensations beyond the numbers.
Koundé has established himself as one of the best right-backs in the world, standing out for his defensive ability and a clear evolution in his offensive performance. He complemented Lamine Yamal perfectly, forming one of the most decisive tandems of the moment.
Timely renewal in the face of interest from major European clubs
This contractual renewal, which will apparently include a salary increase in line with his role, comes at an opportune moment. It should not be forgotten that it was recently said that the former Sevilla player aroused the interest of several Premier League teams, with Manchester City being the most recent.
However, the Gaul's position was always clear: he wants to stay at Barcelona. A key point not only to consolidate his figure in the team, but also to pave the way for a structural renewal for the Catalan team.
