Manchester City have reportedly expressed an interest in signing Jules Kounde from Barcelona but the Catalans are hoping to tie him down to a new contract.
According to reporter Fabrice Hawkins, Barca and Kounde “have been negotiating a contract extension” for several weeks and are hoping for a positive outcome.
Manchester City “and another top-tier club” have shown interest in the France international, but the hope is he will continue at Barcelona.
The Catalans have made a habit of tying key stars down to long-term contracts recently, and it looks like Kounde could be the next to renew.
