The Blaugrana have concluded a series of contract extensions since the beginning of 2025 while the club seeks to plan its future in the long term. Improving the financial situation has enabled Catalan giants to protect themselves against the loss of key players and other agreements are expected.
The central defender Inigo Martinez is about to accept a year's renewal despite the need to reduce the workforce elsewhere to obtain the signing of an agreement. According to Diario Sport reports, Koundé is considered an essential player by Hansi Flick, and he wants a future resolution to be quickly settled.
Jules Koundé Much requested
The French international is currently linked to Barcelona until 2027, but the intention is to extend this link until 2030 in parallel with a salary increase. Koundé is currently the fourth best paid player in FC Barcelona in terms of basic salary, but a new contract would place him in third place in the ranking, while Ansu Fati is preparing to leave.
In addition to its development as a leading right -handed, Chelsea, the first League giant, also put pressure on Barcelona. Blues are concerned about the future of Reece James, their captain of the club suffering from constant injury problems in the last 18 months.
According to rumors, Chelsea is ready to offer around 100 million euros for Koundé, an offer they would take into consideration, because Barcelona still keeps an eye on its finances. However, the 26 -year -old is considered essential by Flick, and he will pressure for the club to sell other players rather than the former Seville player.
