Jules Koundé Agrees New Barcelona Contract Until 2030

Jules Koundé has signed a new contract with FC Barcelona. The deal extends his stay at the club until June 2030. This agreement secures the French defender’s future as part of Hansi Flick’s team, as recent reports confirm.

CONTRACT EXTENSION CONFIRMED

Koundé joined Barcelona from Sevilla in 2022 and is now a regular starter at right-back. The player confirmed that both sides have agreed on all terms. He is expected to sign the deal soon. His previous contract was set to end in June 2027, but the new agreement adds three more years, demonstrating the club’s trust in his performance. Koundé has also contributed seven goals and 18 assists in 141 games since his arrival. This extension reflects Barcelona’s commitment to solidifying their defense by renewing his contract.

KOUNDÉ’S IMPORTANCE TO BARCELONA

Barcelona’s confidence in Koundé reflects his role with the team, especially as they rebuild their squad. Last season, Koundé was a key player as Barcelona won La Liga, the Copa del Rey, and the Spanish Super Cup, achieving a significant domestic dominance. His consistent presence in defense and attack makes him an automatic pick for the starting lineup.

WHAT TO EXPECT THIS SEASON

Barcelona start the new season aiming to defend their La Liga title and improve in the Champions League. Last season, they finished first and beat Real Madrid by a narrow margin. Koundé is expected to remain a key player, especially with the challenges of balancing domestic and European competitions. Their next match is against Mallorca, who finished mid-table last season and are expected to challenge strongly again. Barcelona will be looking to maintain their lead at the top, with rivals close behind and every point critical.
