Liverpool have been linked with a move for Barcelona and France right-back Jules Kounde, and they could now sign him for less than has been reported. Kounde has been mentioned as an option for Liverpool in the recent past, and now TEAMtalk report that Liverpool “appreciate” him, adding that “there’s a chance” that he moves to Anfield this summer.

I appreciate what he’s doing. He has a top-notch mentality.

He is a proven player at the top level, starting for France at the 2026 World Cup and having a great chance of winning the competition, and he would sure up the Reds’ defence under Andoni Iraola. He is also a main contributor for This Is Anfield, one of the world's biggest Reds-related sites, where he writes features and news, and covers matchday content.
