Liverpool’s summer recruitment strategy is sharpening with a focus on defensive reinforcement. The Reds are reportedly eyeing 27‑year‑old Jules Kounde, who brings experience from La Liga and Europe. While Chelsea appears to be the frontrunner, Manchester City has also shown interest, creating a competitive race for the defender.
Barcelona’s valuation of around €80m reflects Kounde’s standing, and his French ties could ease his transition to the Premier League, aligning with Liverpool’s recent emphasis on squad chemistry.
