Jules Kounte is Man City's target for the right -back position this summer after the Tino Livrangeento deal is not favorable.
Man City changes to Jules Kounte
This summer, Man City has recruited many excellent players. However, the right defender is still a concern for Pep Guardiola's team. Since the time of Kyle Walker, the position of Man City's right corridor has never made fans feel secure.
Initially, Man City targeted Newcastle's Tino Livgento. But this deal faces many challenges. Newcastle “screaming” is very high for the British player because the black and white shirt team considers Livrangeento as an important name for the Champions League journey next season.
There was that, Man City was forced to change to another deal. The name that this team targets is Jules Kounte. The French defender has two years of contract with Barca and is in the process of renewing with Barcelona.

Man City judged this was the right time to be able to recruit Kounte. Because the time the team negotiates to extend the contract with the player is a very sensitive time and Man City believes that superior financial strength can help this team “rob” Kounte from Barcelona.
However, the Blaugrana side still proved very tough in this deal. Kounte is one of the most important players in the scheme of coach Hansi Flick has passed and it is not easy for Barca to leave his pillar.
It is estimated that the price for Jules Kounte is currently about 60 million euros. Man City judged this price as reasonable and ready to go down to recruit the French defender.
On the side of Jules Kounte, this defender has not returned to Barca. The French player has not fully recovered from the injury and coach Hansi Flick has not asked Kounte to practice again with the ball.
Man City really wants to sell Jack Greealish in the summer of 2025, but the liquidation of the British player is facing many difficulties.
