BARCELONA GIVES KOUNDE PERMISSION FOR ENGLAND

A flash separation development took place in Barcelona, one of the deep-rooted clubs of Spanish La Liga. According to the news reported by El Nacional, the Catalan giant officially allowed French defender Jules Kounde to leave the team. The possibility of the successful center-back, whose sale came to the agenda due to the financial situation of the club despite meeting expectations, continuing his career in England strengthened. The Barcelona management gave official approval to Kounde's representatives to hold direct transfer talks with interested Premier League clubs. The transfer fee determined for the French footballer, who attracted attention with his consistent performance in the defensive line, also became clear. It was revealed that the Spanish giant aimed to put approximately 70 million Euros in its safe in the event of a possible departure of Kounde. Following this development, the player's agents began to evaluate the options in the English market and discuss the incoming offers. It was stated that the giant Premier League teams, which especially want to strengthen their defensive line, look warmly at meeting this 70 million Euro transfer fee and that official contacts will become more frequent in the coming days. It was learned that Barcelona planned to use the income to be obtained from the possible sale of Kounde both to relieve the budget within the framework of financial fair play rules and to create resources for new transfers. Fans reacted differently to this separation decision on social media.
