Arsenal's succulent offer for a 'star' of FC Barcelona

With the start of turns it by United States to the 'gone back of the corner', Hansi Flick and the FC Barcelona still have a 'puzzle' in the centre of the defence. Between which are and the yielded, the Catalan square account until with seven active in total in this zone of the field. Araújo, Koundé, Christensen, Íñigo Martínez, Cubarsí, Eric García, and Lenglet are the footballers conform the position, and although the last will go out with almost all security and the injury of the Uruguayan will keep him in the dry dam by several months, the sportive direction will have to take decisions with the rest.

In this sense, from the Premier League want to 'fish in river revolved' and already have put looks it in Jules Koundé. Like this they inform it from 'The Nacional.cat', in where they ensure that the Arsenal is more than interested in doing with the services of the French by request expresses of Mikel Arteta, that is 'enamoured' of the defender and would have asked an effort to the club to concretise his contracting this same summer.

The Parisian is a very valued footballer in Can Barça, but at the same time is a player with a lot of market and like the economic situation forces to the Catalan entity to do some sale to assume the signing of Dani Elm, can not descartar a possible exit of the Frenchman. The group londinense is conscious of this situation, and taking in account the 'overbooking' of head offices, these think that there is a favourable stage, although slightly complex, to convince to the culés and incorporate to Jules to his team, by what already would have put an offer of 50 million euros on the table of the culés.

Koundé Completed a good end of season with the Barça and moved this big performance to the Eurocopa 2024, where was one of the most stood out footballer, but the one who more, of the French selection. To the footballer notices him increasingly comfortable in the right side, and in spite of that it is not his position preferred, the level showed in this zone of the field puts him between the best of the world in the demarcation. By this reason, Arteta considers that his arrival would represent a significant improvement for his defensive line, where the player would replace to Ben White in the right-handed band of the retaguardia.

The Barça wants to retain him

However, the Barcelona entity is doing an exercise of resistance in front of the pressure of the 'gunners'. Laporta And Flick are the two big valedores of the defender in the City Condal, and although they are conscious that the 50 'kilos' proposed by the Arsenal can approach the return of Elm to the City Condal, the true is that the blaugranas, in principle, follow having the French for the next season. The German considers him important in his project, and the own footballer would not think in abandoning the team, but from the Emirates Stadium follow insisting in his arrival and his future can not give by clear-cut.
