The future of Jules Koundé at FC Barcelona is not completely clear, since, despite being a stellar player for the culé team, his departure would not be ruled out in the event that some movements occur in the club during this summer

The season 2024/25 is increasingly near to begin and, with this, the FC Barcelona has to resolve a series of interrogantes to make the best sportive project possible and confront a marked campaign by the incógnita that represents the new management of Hansi Flick like trainer of the picture culé. One of the big doubts that the Barcelonan cast has to clear is the role that Jules Koundé will exert in the staff of face to the next course.

In spite of being a natural defender and that the Parisian has expressed in more than an occasion that feels more comfortable in this position, from his arrival to the combined Catalan has had to see action in several occasions like right side because of diverse circumstances. In fact, in the 88 commitments that has faced with the elastic Barcelona, 48 of them has deployed them like carrilero right-handed.

The stage that could be confronting Jules Koundé in the season 2024/25 with the FC Barcelona

However, for this new season, his future in this position seems less clear, since the FC Barcelona seems to be considering alternative to reinforce his right band. If it arrived some name 'top' for robustecer the right-handed side, the exjugador of the Seville would lose his place like usual side, what poses a new interrogante: will have the French a place in the central defence if it decides give it back to his natural position?

The doubt arises because, if Ronald Araújo does not go out in the market of summer, everything indicates that the pair of defenders would be composed by Pau Cubarsí and the charrúa, what would leave little space for the canterano of the Bordeaux, whose hierarchy does not invite to think that it was the most appropriate element to occupy the place of third head office or second right side, where the team already has alternatives like Héctor Fort and, why no, Julián Araujo.

Arrived to this point, would not be surprising that, taking into account the role that Jules Koundé would exert in the Barcelona dynamics, the club was more opened to listen offers by him. It is necessary to take into account his innegable value in the market (45 M€) and the possible beaux that could be interested in his traspaso, as long as the proposal was the sufficiently generous as so that the FC Barcelona was had to leave it leave.

And if the Barcelona cast no index card to any right side?

Nevertheless, also it is necessary to consider the option that the combined Catalan finally prioritise other transactions and do not attain fichar to a natural right side. In this case, it will be necessary to evaluate if Koundé wishes to follow exerting in this position, as it does it usually with the French selection. In case of a positive answer, his continuity in the cast of the City Condal could be much clearer.
