Gossip: Barcelona star Jules Kounde is Bayern Munich’s dream January transfer

Bayern Munich is reportedly targeting Barcelona defender Jules Kounde as a dream permanent signing for the upcoming January transfer window, according to an update from Diario Sport. The French defender has recently lost his place in Barcelona's starting lineup, fueling speculation regarding his potential exit.

Bayern Munich's pursuit of Kounde depends on the potential departure of center-back Kim Min-jae, who could leave for €40 million. Although Kounde has stated an intention to see out his Barcelona contract, reduced playing time in Catalunya may influence his future, while Benfica's Tomas Araujo is also monitored.
