Paris Saint-Germain will likely aim to bolster its center-back depth this summer with one or two signings, considering the injuries to Lucas Hernandez and Presnel Kimpembe that will keep them out for the start of the 2024-25 season.
One of the rumored targets PSG could pursue this summer is FC Barcelona defender Jules Koundé. The player fits the profile that the Ligue 1 side are pushing for, as he’s in his prime and French.
Furthermore, the Parisians might have a clear path to land the player. According to Mundo Deportivo, Koundé has not entirely convinced the management of Barcelona and could be sold with the player also having suitors in the Premier League.

Over the years, Paris Saint-Germain has frequently recruited players from FC Barcelona. The team has secured the talents of Neymar Jr., Xavi Simons, Ousmane Dembélé, and Arnau Tenas from the Spanish side. Could another player be added to this list?
Koundé has appeared in 44 matches across all competitions for Barcelona this season while scoring two goals and recording four assists. Moreover, Transfermarkt puts the 25-year-old’s transfer value at €50 million.
