Competition for Laimer? Bayern reportedly interested in Barca star
According to a media report from Spain, a right-back for the Catalans is highly rated by the German record champions. However, the competition is fierce.
Will ÖFB star Konrad Laimer face new competition on the right side of defense this winter?
According to the Spanish newspaper "Sport", Jules Kounde is one of FC Bayern Munich's main targets for the upcoming transfer window in January.
High Transfer Fee Discussed
The 27-year-old Frenchman has had a difficult time at FC Barcelona this season and recently lost his starting spot to Eric Garcia.
Kounde has only been in the starting eleven three times so far this season, and recently had to warm the bench three times in a row.
According to information from "El Nacional", the Catalans are demanding a transfer fee of 50 million euros for the right-back, who can also play as a center-back.
Competition is Present
Besides Bayern, FC Chelsea and FC Liverpool are also said to have shown interest. Kounde moved from FC Sevilla to Barcelona in the summer of 2022 for 50 million euros, and was an undisputed starter for a time.
Should he move to Munich, the 57-time French international would compete with ÖFB legionnaire Konrad Laimer and Josip Stanisic for a starting spot.
