Jules Koundé in focus: Bayern and Chelsea eye him for January

Bayern München are still considering Jules Koundé as a January reinforcement for the right-back spot, according to Christian Falk. The German club’s plan would involve selling Sacha Boey first, with the Barcelona full-back then becoming the main target.

The race won’t be straightforward: Mateo Moretto reports that Chelsea also want to strengthen their defensive line. In London, Koundé is among the options generating the most consensus within the club’s sporting setup.

With Koundé not featuring at the same level as in previous seasons, his involvement over the coming months is expected to influence whether he stays at Barça or tells the club he wants a new challenge.
