Pep Guardiola fired him, now he will be Lionel Messi's teammate at FC Barcelona

In the last few hours, it became known that Jules Koundé could leave Barcelona at the end of the season. The French defender had a one-on-one conversation with Xavi Hernández in which he spoke about his position on the pitch and in which he did not agree to continue playing next season.

The ex Sevilla does not want to continue playing as a right back and intends to return to the position of central defender. In case of not seeing an immediate solution, the player for whom Barcelona paid close to 50 million euros could leave in the next few markets, although the Culé dome has a well-marked replacement.

The main one targeted by Barça to reinforce the right-back position, in whose position they currently have no player on the squad, is Joao Cancelo. The Portuguese is on loan at Bayern Munich, but the Bavarian team will not sign him and he will have to return to the English team when the season ends.

The situation of the Portuguese and the price of his token

The price that City is asking for is 40 million euros, a lower figure than what he paid in his day when he hired him from Juventus. Manchester City do not want him in the squad because they consider him an arrogant player and answer so Guardiola does not want to have him in their ranks anymore. For this reason, Barça would have to pay that price to keep the Portuguese, although they could negotiate a loan.
