A fed-up Jules Kounde has had a verbal transfer request ACCEPTED by Barcelona.
Relevo says the France defender has informed club chiefs he is unhappy with his role within the team and that he wants to listen to offers to leave – so long as there was a good offer for all parties.
Koundé’s position has surprised coaching staff because he has practically played every game when available.
But Barça have assessed this new development calmly. The board know the club needs to sell and they will not retain anyone who wants to leave against his will.
Kounde’s prime reason to leave is that coach Xavi has not played him regularly at centre-back. The former Sevilla stopper has been employed mostly at fullback and even in midfield.
While with Sevilla, Kounde attracted serious approaches from Manchester United and Chelsea before leaving for Barca.
