Koundé decides to stay at Barcelona despite Premier League interest and reduced role

Jules Koundé has decided not to leave Barcelona in the January window despite losing his starting place and drawing interest from five Premier League clubs.

• Koundé has decided to remain at Barcelona and regain his place in Hansi Flick's lineup rather than leave in January.
• Eric García has replaced Koundé as first-choice right-back, with the Frenchman benched for the last three La Liga matches.
• FootballTransfers reported that Chelsea, Arsenal, Manchester United, Manchester City and Liverpool are following Koundé's situation.
• Koundé's contract runs until June 2030, and no official offer has been made to change the current situation.
