Jules Koundé joined Barça in 2022 from Sevilla, in a deal worth close to €50 million. He arrived as one of LaLiga's most promising defenders with enormous international potential. His signing was a clear demonstration of the club's commitment to the future.
Although he arrived as a center-back, Koundé has had to adapt to other roles. At Barça, he has rarely played his natural position, becoming a top-level full-back. Today, he is considered one of the most complete defenders on the continent due to his reliability and consistency.
