Manchester City: Pep Guardiola wants Jules Koundé

Jules Koundé, the French defender of Beninese descent, has caught the eye of Manchester City's very own Pep Guardiola.

Jules Koundé is currently one of the most sought-after players on the transfer market, with Pep Guardiola reportedly a huge admirer of his style of play. In response, FC Barcelona is said to have made a bold decision, according to the latest rumors.

According to RMC Sport, Barça wants to extend Koundé's contract, which currently runs until 2027. Negotiations between the two parties over a new deal began a few weeks ago. The move was deemed necessary as Manchester City and another European heavyweight have expressed their interest. However, a positive outcome is expected, as the player himself is reportedly happier than ever in Catalonia.
