It's no lie that Barça's current season has many high points at this stage, and in the culé offices, they value Hansi Flick's figure very positively. However, the planning of what the German coach's squad will be next season is ongoing. There is more than one player at the Catalan club whose future in the first team is uncertain.
In Barça's offices, they are clear that significant sales are needed to strengthen the squad with top-level footballers. In this regard, Flick has already conveyed to Deco and company the list of players he could do without next season. However, this list surprises with one name in particular, as the German coach wouldn't oppose his sale if a very strong offer came in.
Possible Change of Scenery
According to the latest information circulating around the Catalan club, Jules Koundé's future as a Barça player is one of those hanging in the air. Despite the French defender showing solid performance as a right-back this season, it is not ruled out that his situation at the club could change in the coming months. Hansi Flick has made it clear to Deco that he won't put any obstacles to his departure as long as the offer allows bringing in another star.
Fermín, who has developed a great friendship with the Frenchman, is astonished. This decision could greatly affect the team both on and off the field, and he would have already made this known to Laporta.
Evidently, Koundé is one of the most important players for the culé team at this stage and continues to demonstrate it match by match. However, his irregular performance at key moments of the season generates doubts in the culé technical command. This, combined with the offers already coming in for the Frenchman, opens the door to a possible transfer next transfer market.
Offers on the Table
In recent weeks, everything seems to indicate that several offers have arrived at Camp Nou's offices for Jules Koundé. In fact, recent reports state that there are some exceeding 50M euros. Although Barça has rejected all these proposals for now, the situation could change radically in the summer market, at the end of the season.
The delicate economic situation that the Catalan entity is going through forces the sports management to make significant sales, and one of these could be Jules Koundé's. Even more so knowing that Hansi Flick remains firm in his request to strengthen the team in other positions with elite stars. Thus, the sale of Koundé for about 50M euros or more could be an option to generate income without excessively weakening the squad.
