The French defender has reached a full agreement with the club — official announcement expected soon.
Barcelona continues to lock down its core players for the future. According to reliable French outlets L’Équipe and RMC Sport, Jules Koundé has agreed to a new long-term contract that will keep him at Camp Nou until June 2030.
The current deal runs until 2027, but both the club and the player were eager to extend their partnership early — a clear sign of mutual trust and commitment.
Agreement Reached – Official Announcement Pending
The new contract is essentially finalized, with only minor formalities remaining. Sources expect the official announcement to arrive within the next week.
🚨 Fabrizio Romano has also confirmed the deal, stating that full agreement is in place and the signature is only a matter of time.
“Here we go” is expected imminently.
Premier League Interest Turned Down
Despite interest from multiple Premier League clubs, especially Manchester City, the 26-year-old defender is happy in Barcelona and never intended to leave. His importance within Hansi Flick’s system has only grown, making him a key figure in Barça’s tactical plans.
As per Damien Degorre, the new deal will include a modest salary increase, reflecting Koundé’s role as a defensive leader and long-term pillar of the squad.
Strategic Stability for Barcelona
Locking down Jules Koundé until 2030 is part of a broader project from Barcelona’s board to secure key players before the next phase of the club’s sporting rebuild. With the contract almost finalized, Koundé is now set to play a central role in the club’s present and future.
