Bayern Munich have made initial enquiries about FC Barcelona star Jules Kounde, contacting the French defender’s representatives to ******* s his current situation and determine whether he would be open to a future move.
While reports in Germany had suggested interest from the Bavarians over the weekend, SPORT now confirms from sources close to the situation, the Bundesliga champions have recently sought information regarding Kounde’s contractual status and long-term intentions.
Although Kounde remains an important member of Hansi Flick’s squad, he is not considered untouchable.
After establishing himself as one of the world’s best right-backs last season, the French international has struggled to maintain the same level of consistency throughout the current campaign.
While he has continued to produce strong performances, Barcelona believe occasional lapses in concentration have proved costly in several matches.
