Liverpool eye Chelsea target Jules Kounde

Liverpool’s summer strategy is sharpening with reports that they are targeting 27‑year‑old Jules Kounde. The club aims to refresh its back line, adding depth after discussions to extend Ibrahima Konate. Chelsea are reportedly the most aggressive bidder, with Manchester City also watching closely.

Barcelona value Kounde at roughly €80m. His experience in domestic and European competition, plus existing chemistry with French players already at Liverpool, makes him an attractive immediate addition.
