OFFICIAL: Kounde signs new long-term contract with Barcelona until 2030

The French defender has put pen to paper after all legal documents were finalised and approved by both parties earlier this week.

The new deal reflects the club's confidence in Kounde's continued importance to Hansi Flick's project, with the 26-year-old establishing himself as a key figure since arriving from Sevilla in 2022.

His versatility across the backline and consistent performances have made him a mainstay in the Barcelona defence.

Contract talks progressed smoothly in recent weeks, with both the player and the club keen to extend their relationship. The agreement includes improved terms for Jules Kounde, who has reportedly attracted interest from top European clubs in recent months.
