Barça is still waiting for the necessary step forward for Jules Koundé

Jules Koundé was one of the most important signings in Europe in the summer of 2022. The FC Barcelona won the battle to Chelsea and did with Jules Koundé in return of 50 million euros, a figure very underneath of what offered the 'blues' and of his own value taking into account how works the current market. The alone player wanted to dress of Barcelona and this forced to the Seville to renounce to a traspaso greater by his need to sell.

The arrival of the Frenchman was very celebrated, since in this moment was one of the best head offices of LaLiga and one of the defences with more projection of the world. It was a totally structural signing to go a step further in defence, winning to one of the best defenders in exit of balloon of the planet. Everything fit in this moment and anybody could foresee that the bet went to go out badly, but almost a year and half afterwards can say that the French is not giving the size.

The past season, Xavi Hernández bet by him more than right side that in the centre of the saga, playing 21 parties in the right-handed lane and 19 in his position. His performance was irregular, alternating good parties in the band, with other mediocre, and doing to his time dominant meetings like head office, and others rather regular. Besides, it finish fed up to play of carrilero and asked him to his trainer go back to his place permanently of face to this campaign.

Koundé Is not giving the size like head office

The technician of Terrassa has fulfilled with the wishes of Jules during this first part of the course, but recently has gone back to 'throw' of him like side in the crashes in front of Athletic of Madrid and Girona. It does not know if it goes to be something recurrent, but while Joao Cancel was headline in the left is more than likely that the Frenchman play in the right. Nevertheless, his turn to the band does not have at all that see with his mediocre performance in what it goes of season.

Koundé Had to give a hit in the table forced to show him to Xavi that it has to be central and only central, but has remained lejísimos of this. It has had meetings quite disastrous, with errors of concentration to the hour to play the ball, failures of positioning and little intensity, losing lost a lot of duels simply by not going the sufficiently strong to the crash.

The patience of the Barça could exhaust

In summary, the performance of Koundé this course is being mediocre and is being one of the big signalled of the Barça in defence. With 25 years still has margin to improve and turn into one of the best defenders of the world, that is what became in determinate moments with the Seville. However, the patience of the Barcelona and of his fans is not infinite and has to begin to show that it deserves that they expect him.

Has foundations and qualities to finish being a central 'top' world-wide a lot of years and be one of the leaders of the Barcelona, but if his mentality does not go of the hand with his skills does not go to be able to attain at all of this. For the moment, in the club anybody poses his sale, but if it follows playing to this so low level is more than possible that to final of campaign the things can change and yes begin the rumours of his possible exit.
