Reds love Jules Kounde
Liverpool are looking to improve defensively and have identified the versatile France international as a summer target. According to Transfersthey are willing to pay 80 million euros to complete the deal.
The player is highly rated at Barcelona and they have no intention of losing him anytime soon, but the €80 million offer could prompt them to consider his departure. It would help them improve several areas of the squad. It remains too easy what they decide.
Kounde would improve Liverpool
Kounde can play as a right back or as a central defender. He could be the ideal signing for Liverpool. Ibrahima Konate is out of contract at the end of the season and they need to replace him. Signing his compatriot could be a wise decision. Kounde is at the peak of his career and he could make an immediate impact in the Premier League. His ability to fill the right position makes him an attractive candidate for the Premier League club.
It will be interesting to see if they follow up on their interest with an official proposal at the end of the season. There is no doubt that they have the financial resources to get the deal done. They have shown that they are willing to spend a lot of money on top players.
Kounde could also be open to a new challenge at this stage of his career. Joining the Premier League champions could be quite exciting for him.
