He found out that Liverpool wanted Koundé, what Xavi says that makes fans bitter

In recent days, Liverpool FC has been linked with Jules Koundé, all after reports from Spain claimed that the player was not at all comfortable at FC Barcelona due to the role Xavi had assigned him in the squad. In that sense, the Anfield Road team found a great market opportunity.

It is no secret that the Liverpool team wants to improve its defensive phase and all this due to the large number of goals that the team conceded in the last season, with Virgil Van Dijk certainly far from his best level. Thus, the team set as a major objective to go for reinforcements in the defense for the summer.

Faced with this need, the option of Koundé was an attractive one for the Reds, who began to make moves to sign the player. However, coach Xavi, upon learning that several English clubs were interested in the French defender, made a move that has not gone down very well.

According to the coach, in the last interview conducted by the official channels of FC Barcelona, he has spoken directly with Jules Kounde about the situation and has let him know that the club has full confidence in him. In addition, the Spanish coach assured that the French player has no problem to remain in the team.

What will Jules Koundé do with Liverpool?

At the moment, it is expected that FC Barcelona will continue to count on the services of the French player for the next season, mainly because of the quality he has shown and because of the age issue that is very important in the FC Barcelona project. Mainly for Xavi.
