The last few days have witnessed various exciting things happening at FC Barcelona. From being on the verge of closing on the Nico Williams deal to looking for transfer prospects to reinforce the midfield, the club has been doing things in the right direction lately.
Moreover, with Hansi Flick introducing new training routines, the club looks set to fight for European glory. Meanwhile, among the various exciting things going on at the Catalan club, another source of positive news seems to be twirling around the club.
Jules Kounde to return before the US preseason
According to recent reports, Jules Kounde is set to return to Barcelona on August 1 and will feature in the US Preseason Tour. Even though German manager Hansi Flick wanted Kounde to rest, the French powerback insisted on joining Barca in the preseason. This has been a familiar story, as Kounde has shown determination previously.
Jules Kounde, who has been key in the French backline at the Euro, will return to the Catalan camp carrying his rich vein of form. Moreover, his presence could be crucial, as he can lead the Barca defense in the absence of Ronald Araujo. On top of that, Kounde's versatility allows him to play the full-back role as and when required.
