Barcelona is preparing for the possibility of the French defender Koundé leaving at the end of the season, after the Catalan management decided to put the player on the transfer market and set his price at 60 million euros, according to the website "Fichajes."

This step came after Koundé failed to meet the expected level since joining the team, as his performance witnessed fluctuations that raised concerns for the sports management, in addition to some observations regarding his behavior within the team. This step is part of the club's plan to renew the defensive line and provide an opportunity to strengthen other positions that need more stability.

The sale of Koundé is seen as an opportunity to restructure the team, as it allows giving more playing time to young players seeking to participate in defense. Reports indicate that several clubs in the English Premier League have shown interest in the player, who has a promising future and an appropriate age to continue his career in Europe.

If offers matching the set value arrive, the club will be ready for his departure, opening the door for new signings according to Barcelona's management plans for the upcoming season.
