Barcelona star ready to reject Bayern Munich | OneFootball

Barcelona star Jules Koundé is ready to rebuff the advances of one of European football’s leading clubs in favour of staying put this summer.

This comes amid the understanding that the Frenchman has emerged as a leading transfer target on the part of those in a position of power at German champions Bayern Munich.

As first reported by BILD, and since confirmed by Diario Sport, the Bayern brass have identified Koundé as the ideal addition to Vincent Kompany’s defensive ranks with a view to next season.

The former Sevilla man is appreciated for his versatility and talents on both sides of the ball, with Koundé’s fine form at this summer’s World Cup having evidently not gone unnoticed.

As alluded to above, though, those of a Bayern persuasion need not get their hopes up when it comes to the 27-year-old’s potential arrival in Bavaria.

As per a report from Sport:

‘Bayern Munich have consulted the player’s entourage in recent days to find out his situation and contractual conditions. According to those who know the Frenchman closely, his priority is still to continue at Barça, and he does not contemplate a change of scenery this summer.’
