Now it’s official! Barcelona announced on Thursday the signing of defender Jules Koundé, who arrives at Camp Nou after three seasons at a high level at Sevilla.

Although the numbers have not been released, the Spanish press points out that the operation is around 50 million euros fixed plus ten in variables. Koundé signs for the next four seasons.

Another strong reinforcement for Joan Laporta’s new Barça, who managed to activate financial levers and sign important players like Raphinha, Lewandowski, Kessié and Christensen.

Koundé arrives at Camp Nou to compete for a spot in the starting lineup with Christensen, Piqué, Eric Garcia, Araujo and Umtiti. The famous ‘good headache’ for Xavi Hernández.

Last season, with the shirt of the team from the south of Spain, the Frenchman played 44 games, scored three goals and provided an assist in more than 3,680 minutes on the field.
