According to Marca, Kounde is no longer considered untouchable at Barcelona, and the club are more open to selling him than ever.
Kounde signed a new contract last summer, however, tying him to the club until the summer of 2030, making a potential sale trickier.
It’s understood that Kounde has struggled to adapt to Barcelona’s high line under Flick, and the club are looking to sign a more comfortable replacement.
