Barcelona are looking to raise funds through sales this summer, but they will to a degree be at the mercy of the offers coming from the market. One of their best avenues of making a big sale may be Jules Kounde.
The French defender has recently returned to form, and as per Ben Jacobs on Fabrizio Romano’s Daily Briefing, he is one of the two assets that Barcelona will try to shop, along with Raphinha. Neither want to leave, as is the case for all of Barcelona’s major assets at this point, but Andreas Christensen and Ronald Araujo are the two other names that are cited as more likely to accept an exit.
The Brazilian will have interest from Saudi Arabia, while Kounde could be a target for Paris Saint-Germain. Their primary objective is Lille wonderkid Leny Yoro, who is also receiving interest from Real Madrid, but showed Yoro go elsewhere then Jacobs says their attentions could focus on Kounde.
Araujo was also on Bayern Munich’s shortlist, but the departure of Thomas Tuchel in the summer has seen the Uruguayan slide down their priorities. Nevertheless if Barcelona do want to sell Araujo, they will have no shortage of suitors in the Premier League.
