FC Barcelona: denial over Jules Koundé’s future

French international Jules Koundé could be sold by FC Barcelona during this summer transfer window. Such a deal might be made to help the Catalan club finance the arrival of a new striker.

In this context, several rumors surfaced on Wednesday regarding a €65 million bid from Tottenham Hotspur for the French defender. However, according to Fabrizio Romano, this is fake news.

Spurs are not interested in Jules Koundé. The English club have no plans to contact FC Barcelona regarding a potential transfer of the French defender this summer.
