Manchester United and Chelsea Compete for Barcelona Defender Jules Kounde
In a recent report, Fichajes claimed that Manchester United are set to rival Chelsea for Barcelona defender Jules Kounde. It has been revealed that the Red Devils are showing interest in acquiring the services of the French talent this summer.
Kounde’s Impressive Form In La Liga
Kounde has enjoyed a decent run of form at the Catalan club in this campaign as he has put in a run of impressive displays on the right side of their backline. The 27-year-old has registered three goals and secured four assists in 45 matches for Barcelona this season on all fronts.
The French defensive ace is currently one of the most consistent right-backs in La Liga. Therefore, Man United would do well to lure him to the Theatre of Dreams at the end of this campaign.
His current contract at the Nou Camp will run out in the summer of 2030, which could make it difficult for the Red Devils to sign him on the cheap later this year.
