Barcelona are prepared to listen to offers for Jules Kounde if a bid meets their financial expectations, with his future now tied to any proposals that come in during the window.
Kounde not guaranteed to stay
Club officials still regard the French defender as an important part of the squad, but they are not ruling out a sale. The decision would depend on the size and timing of any offer.
Kounde has become one of Barcelona's key defensive players in recent seasons, with his ability to play at centre-back and right-back adding to his value.
Barcelona's financial stance
The club's financial position and need to balance the squad and their resources mean they are willing to consider big offers for some players rather than close the door completely.
For now, there is no certainty over a sale. Any move would depend on whether an interested club comes forward with the right proposal.
