Barcelona defender attracts interest from Tottenham | OneFootball

Although FC Barcelona have mainly focused on bringing changes to their attack so far this summer, other areas of their team can also experience changes before the end of the summer transfer window.

One such area that has been the subject of some transfer rumors and reports is that of defense. The main priority of the Blaugrana club for this area is the signing of Joao Cancelo from Al-Hilal, an operation that has already dragged on for some time.

Meanwhile, there are other players in the market with whom the Catalans are also linked, while some of their current players are also linked with moves to other clubs.

One such player who has been linked with a departure from Barcelona on and off this summer is the defender Jules Kounde. The Spanish outlet Mundo Deportivo cites CaughtOffside to report that the Premier League side Tottenham Hotspur is the latest club to show an interest in him, even though he looks unlikely to leave the Blaugrana club this summer.

Spurs are currently monitoring his situation, and are not ruling out making an offer for him. They particularly like him for his versatility, which is also valued by Barcelona as Hansi Flick is looking to use him both as a fullback and center-back next season, and believe he could be a good addition to their team with the futures of Cuti Romero and Djed Spence currently quite uncertain.

Before Tottenham, the German giants Bayern Munich had also shown an interest in Jules Kounde, but even though his performances declined during the last season, the Frenchman looks unlikely to leave Barcelona this summer. It remains to be seen whether a surprise move awaits him or whether Flick will be counting on him next season as his team aims to win the biggest trophy in Europe, the UEFA Champions League.
