'I'm one of Barca's key players and I'm very reliable': Jules Kounde

Speaking to the media at one of the France’s recent pressers, Jules Kounde has brushed off all the Barcelona exit rumours – the 25-year-old defender’s been linked with a move to Saudi Arabia of all places lately.

“Leaving? I don’t even think about it. I am one of Barca’s key players, one of the leaders in the dressing room and I am very reliable. That’s perhaps one of the things I’m most proud of.

“This season, apart from the time Gavi injured my knee when he accidentally bumped into me, I haven’t had a single physical problem to complain about. I am very proud of it because it is the result of a hard work,” he concluded.

Indeed, the Frenchman only spent 18 days throughout the entire campaign on the sidelines, racking up over 4000 minutes of playing time in 48 appearances for the club this past while operating on both the right flank and in the center of the park
