Official, from costing €90M to signing for free with Barça: 'He arrives thanks to Jules Koundé...'

From costing 90 million a few months ago to signing for free with Barça thanks to the direct help of the Frenchman Jules Koundé: this is how the latest Barça signing has been closed. Barça needs goals and it has been proven in these last LaLiga EA Sports matches: Joan Laporta's team is champion, but it needs a new goal-scoring center forward. Barça didn't want to wait any longer and has already closed a massive signing thanks to the help, rather indirect, of the French defender from FC Barcelona Jules Koundé.

Barça has urgencies and Joan Laporta, who initially didn't consider it essential, now believes it will be vital to go to the transfer market and, moreover, that it must be done urgently. Barça is going through a small existential crisis and Joan Laporta believes that the key will come for free and thanks to Jules Koundé. Jules Koundé has been committed to ensuring Flick has a star signing.

After the defeat (2-3) against Villarreal, alarms have been raised at Barça, especially because the transfer market is approaching and the budget is more than limited. Barça will focus on registering Dani Olmo and Pau Víctor, but also confirms a closed signing thanks to Jules Koundé, who is still injured. Hansi Flick's team needs goals and has found the solution: it closes the signing of a center forward who once cost €90M, a friend of Koundé and who will be a Barça player.

Barça let victory slip away again against Villarreal and the match against the yellow team showed that Flick's team needs new offensive pieces. Robert Lewandowski has lost his spark and Barça is no longer able to find as much fluidity up front. Flick's analysis coincides with that of a Joan Laporta who has decided and is clear that it's time to sign: it comes thanks to Koundé, from costing €90M to coming for free.

Barça hadn't planned to go to the transfer market, but the alarming lack of goals has forced Laporta to activate a plan in which Koundé has been key. Barça confirms the surprise and unexpected operation: it comes thanks to Jules Koundé and will do so for free after being one of the most sought-after "killers" a few months ago.

Barça closes a new signing thanks to Jules Koundé

Barça has urgencies and Laporta has made a decision as drastic as it is unexpected: the Barça club will go to the transfer market to sign the best friend of Jules Koundé. An international with France, he once cost 90 million euros and now will come for free to Barça to be the new starting center forward: the Barça club's signing is confirmed. Barça hadn't planned to sign, but the latest results in LaLiga EA Sports have caused Joan Laporta to "spare no expense".

Barça had been studying the transfer market for weeks, but Barça sources confirmed to "e-Notícies" that "no center forward was going to be signed during the summer". After the defeat against Villarreal, Barça has changed its mind, partly thanks to Koundé's help. Barça was studying the transfer market, but in these last hours, a massive market opportunity has appeared: it cost 90 million and would come as a gift to Barça, it is more than confirmed.

Which forward will sign for Barça thanks to Koundé? Well, Barça has closed the signing of Randal Kolo Muani, a French forward from PSG who cost 90 million euros. Muani is not in Luis Enrique's plans and PSG is willing to give him away to free up his high salary, which would be reduced to fit into the Barça salary mass.
