Barcelona Defender Jules Koundé Agrees Contract Extension Until 2030

News summary

Jules Koundé has agreed to extend his contract with FC Barcelona until 2030, confirming the deal will be finalized shortly after the team's return from their Asian tour. The 26-year-old French defender has become a key player for Barcelona, primarily playing as a right-back, and has expressed his happiness and motivation to continue with the club, which competes for titles every year. Koundé, who joined Barcelona from Sevilla in 2022, has won multiple trophies including La Liga, the Spanish Super Cup, and the Copa del Rey, while also establishing himself as one of the most consistent performers in his position. Despite interest from clubs like Manchester City, he chose to remain at Barcelona, appreciating the club's ambition and team environment.

Manager Hansi Flick has praised Koundé's exceptional physical condition and professionalism, highlighting his importance to the team.
