Liverpool plot SHOCK £60m swoop for out-of-favour Barcelona defender
Since arriving from Sevilla in 2022, Kounde has been highly regarded at Barcelona, making 193 appearances for the club. His ability to operate comfortably as both a right-back and a centre-back makes him a highly attractive proposition for potential suitors.
Liverpool’s interest arrives at a time when they are facing serious uncertainties on the right side of their defence. Conor Bradley is reportedly set to be sidelined until next year due to injury, while Jeremie Frimpong is struggling to make a convincing impact.
Additionally, Ronald Araujo was brought in on loan from Barcelona during the summer, but Liverpool have yet to decide on his long-term future. With Joe Gomez also potentially departing Anfield at the end of the season, reinforcements are desperately needed.
