Barcelona not open to selling €50m-rated star amid Aston Villa links

Without a doubt,

the team’s incapacity to maintain a flawless defense has been a major factor in Barcelona’s lack of hardware this season.

When compared to the Catalans’ play from the previous season,

when they were unquestionably the top defensive team in La Liga,

this defensive shortcoming is even more glaring.

This vulnerability can also be linked to personnel and system changes,

although some of Barcelona’s most important defenders’ poor play has also played a role.

This was particularly true for Jules Kounde,

who spent a significant portion of this season unable to play up to his usual level.

Because of this, he has also been connected to leaving the team;

in recent days, Aston Villa has been mentioned as one of the teams reportedly interested in signing the Barcelona defender.

The Premier League team has done well this season and is expected to finish fourth and earn a position in the Champions League,

so they should draw some major names in the summer.

The well-known journalist Fabrizio Romano,

according to CaughtOffside,

asserts that there is no real progress being made with Kounde and that these connections are at best rumors. The journalist from Italy stated:

“Aston Villa’s interest in Jules Kounde this summer has caught me off guard by certain fans.

There has been talk about Monchi’s relationship with the former Sevilla defender.

But, Villa supporters—I’m sorry, but I have nothing to say at this time,

and it appears that Kounde is currently quiet.

Barcelona is still satisfied with him, and it would take a very,

very compelling offer to persuade the team to part with him.

Nothing has happened as of yet, and I have no proof for this story.

Romano’s statements are credible in this instance because the French defender has been playing at a high level and has been able to regain his form in recent weeks.

Consequently, unless a huge offer comes in,

Kounde is expected to stay a crucial member of Barcelona’s defensive line—a situation that also applies to some of his backline teammates.
