Barcelona, July 26 – Barcelona have confirmed that Jules Koundé has signed a new long-term contract with the club, extending his stay at Camp Nou until June 2030.
The French defender’s renewal had been in the works for several weeks, with a broad agreement in place since last month. Despite persistent speculation over a potential departure earlier in the summer, both player and club were always confident a deal would be reached.
Now 26, Koundé has established himself as a key figure in Barcelona’s backline since arriving from Sevilla in 2022. His versatility—capable of operating at both centre-back and right-back—has proven invaluable during a transitional period for the Catalan side.
Koundé’s new contract reaffirms Barça’s commitment to building around a core of established internationals, and the agreement is seen as a significant boost ahead of the new La Liga campaign. The former Bordeaux and Sevilla defender was reportedly attracting interest from clubs in the Premier League, but his decision to commit his future to Barcelona puts any exit talk firmly to rest.
The renewal is part of a broader effort by the club to stabilise their squad and secure key assets, with Koundé now set to remain at Camp Nou through the prime of his career.
