Jules Koundé’s future at FC Barcelona remains uncertain. The French defender is reportedly open to leaving the Catalan club this summer, but a move to Paris Saint-Germain still appears far from likely.
According to PSG Inside Actus, Koundé’s representatives have informed several clubs that a transfer could be considered. Barcelona are not completely ruling out a sale and would reportedly be willing to listen to significant offers for the French international. The club is also said to be interested in signing Pedro Porro after his impressive World Cup, a move that could reshape the competition at right-back and push Koundé closer to the exit.
Why a PSG Transfer Looks Unlikely

It is expected that several top European clubs will closely monitor his situation in the coming weeks.

Although PSG are looking to strengthen their defensive depth behind Achraf Hakimi, Koundé’s expected role presents a major obstacle. Hakimi remains an undisputed starter under Luis Enrique, making it difficult to justify signing a player of Koundé’s stature as a backup. Paris are now keen to avoid recruiting high-profile players without offering them a clearly defined place in the project, meaning this deal is unlikely to progress unless circumstances change significantly.
