The only problem that hinders the signing of Jules Koundé for the Barça

During the beginning of this season the Barcelona has showed to have a very fragile team in the defensive phase and an example of this are the ten goals received in the last eight meetings (six in LaLiga and two in the Champions). It is thus that already begin to sound names that could interest to the Catalan directive in the next wintry market and one of which is doing a lot of merits to arrive to the Camp Nou is the central youngster French of 22 years Jules Koundé.

This defender, in spite of his youth, has consolidated like an indisputable headline in the Seville of Julen Lopetegui and would be a very interesting bet that would allow to the group culé follow the process of restructuring of the first team and, to his time, would represent the immediate solution to the little security that has the entity blaugrana in the retaguardia.

In the actuality Koundé is being pretended by big clubs in Europe and in the past window of signings already the Seville refused an offer of the Manchester City of 55 million euros more Otamendi by the defender Frenchman. It is thus that the Barcelona directive will have to take letters in the subject, the sooner possible, if it does not want to lose the opportunity to reinforce to his team with a player that belongs to a big French generation born in the 98, one in which they also are: the feeling of the PSG, Kylian Mbappé; the central of the Leipzig, Dayot Upamecano and the mediocampista of the Lyon, Houssem Aouar.

Nevertheless, one of the greater fetters that would have the Barcelona, if it decides to go by the defender, are the high pretences that has the group of Nervión with the player, then , although his value is of 40 million euros, the club champion of the last edition of the Europe League only would be interested in leaving it go by a greater sum to the same.

This situation would put in serious aprietos the feasibility of the operation, because of the grave economic crisis that crosses the club. The only way to be able to make this movement would be selling to some players, as it is the case of Samuel Umtiti or Junior Firpo, players that do not have the confidence of the trainer Ronald Koeman.

Growth in Spain

Koundé Arrived to the Seville in the past season from the Girondins of Burdeos (France) in return of 25 million euros and in little more than a year his progression has done him revalorizarse and turn into one of the most contributed defenders in the present. From his arrival has dressed the elastic sevillista in 47 opportunities. Besides, in the past course was a very important player for the team and a fundamental factor in the obtaining of the sixth Europe League, thanks to his big rapidity, delivery and sacrifice; qualities that would come him of wonder to Koeman for the Barcelona.

Eric García keeps on being the priority
