Indeed, the German champions are believed to value the defender at around \u20ac40 million, a figure the Blaugrana consider too low.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"689\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/deportivo-alaves-v-fc-barcelona-laliga-ea-sports-1-1024x689.jpg\" alt=\"Jules Kounde of FC Barcelona\" class=\"wp-image-206182\"  \/>Barcelona value Kounde at \u20ac50-60 million. (Photo by Juan Manuel Serrano Arce\/Getty Images)<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As a result, there are currently no active negotiations between the clubs, only initial enquiries.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While Bayern admire Kounde, the significant gap between both clubs\u2019 valuations means a transfer is far from becoming a realistic possibility.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Barcelona have not received any formal offer and remain under no pressure to sell. Unless another club meets their asking price, Kounde is expected to remain an important part of Hansi Flick\u2019s squad.<\/p>\n<p>Pedro Porro admired by Barcelona<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Should Kounde\u2019s situation eventually change, one player admired by Barcelona, <a href=\"https:\/\/barcauniversal.com\/barcelona-impressed-by-premier-league-stars-world-cup-displays-but-no-move-planned\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">as reported already, is Tottenham right-back Pedro Porro<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/france-v-spain-semi-final-fifa-world-cup-2026-7-1-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Pedro Porro of Spain\" class=\"wp-image-206012\"  \/>Barcelona like Pedro Porro. (Photo by Florencia Tan Jun\/Getty Images)<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Spanish international has further enhanced his reputation with impressive World Cup performances after already establishing himself as one of the Premier League\u2019s top full-backs.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even so, a deal would be extremely difficult. After all, Porro recently signed a new contract with Tottenham, increasing the club\u2019s negotiating strength. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For now, Kounde remains at Barcelona, with Bayern\u2019s interest considered well below the level needed to trigger serious discussions.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Frenchman may have endured a difficult last season, but showed his level at the World Cup, and Flick &amp; co. will hope that version of the player shows up when he joins training with Barcelona in the coming weeks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"According to SPORT, FC Barcelona are open to listening to offers for Jules Kounde, but only if they&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":57379,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[92,222,266,223,548],"class_list":["post-57378","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-barcelona","tag-barcelona","tag-barcelona-news","tag-bayern-munich","tag-fc-barcelona","tag-jules-kounde"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/57378","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=57378"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/57378\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/57379"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=57378"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=57378"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=57378"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
