Jules Olivier Koundé

A regular presence in Barcelona's squad, J. Koundé has made his mark in the La Liga through consistent performances. Originally from Paris, France, this France international has steadily made his way to the top level. As a defender, his 181 cm height and 84 kg weight provide a real physical presence on the pitch. Whether in the air or on the ground, he remains competitive and difficult to get past for opposing attacks. His transfer from Sevilla to Barcelona in 2022 for € 50M was one of the most talked-about deals of that window. The silverware in his career — notably Trofeo Joan Gamper, Super Cup, La Liga — confirms his ability to perform in the biggest moments. With the 2025/2026 campaign in full swing, he is intent on making his presence felt in Barcelona's plans. Given his performances, J. Koundé naturally asserts himself as a key part of Barcelona's sporting project.
