They raffle to Koundé; PSG, another that is considering paying its clause

Jules Koundé culminated this Wednesday with a Maradonian goal against Barcelona the tremendous defensive and offensive display that he is offering throughout the season. Performances like the one that curdled before the Catalans further increase its cache and its projection. In Nervión no one doubts that Sooner rather than later, next summer, some great on the continent will pay the clause of 80 million euros that appears in his contract.

Manchester City already tried to take it away before the end of the summer market, but Sevilla did not give in to an offer of around 55 million. Guardiola ended up signing the Portuguese Rubén Dias for a similar figure and at Sánchez Pizjuán they will continue to enjoy a center-back who is already among the best in the world. Although it does not seem that it will continue there many more months.

In addition to City, giants like Real Madrid, Barcelona or Manchester United have already asked about the French footballer. Someone will pay those 80 million, they suspect in Nervión, but the question now is who will convince the player. Why To all the above is added Paris Saint-Germain, a club from the city where Koundé was born. The 22-year-old central defender is and will continue to be tempted by countless great European clubs and it will be up to him to decide.

“The signing that I have the least doubts is Koundé,” said Monchi first privately and then publicly at the beginning of July 2019, after paying the Girondins de Bordeaux a fixed 20 million plus another five in variables for the footballer, unknown then to the general public. Once again, the sports director from Nervion was not wrong. Koundé points to the most important sale of the many and succulent that the Nervionense team has made during the last two decades, the most successful sportingly and economically in all its history.
