Barcelona announced through its official account on the 'X' platform the renewal of French defender Jules Koundé's contract, allowing him to remain with the team until June 2030.

Koundé is considered one of the essential pillars of the Catalan team's project, as this renewal is part of the plan by sporting director Deco, which aims to retain the core elements in coach Hans Flick's lineup for the coming years.

The French international defender has delivered strong performances since joining Barcelona from Sevilla in the summer of 2022, becoming an indispensable element in the backline of the Blaugrana thanks to his defensive solidity and versatility in roles.

Renewing Koundé's contract represents an important step in stabilizing the club's sporting project and confirms Barcelona's desire to build a long-term competitive team capable of reclaiming domestic and continental titles.
