The defender Jules Kounde is one of the FC Barcelona players whose future at the Catalan club is subject to some uncertainty. The Frenchman has remained an important part of the team for most part of his career in the Blaugrana shirt, but [his prominence has been declining lately](https://barcanewsnetwork.com/jules-kounde-makes-honest-admission-after-losing-barcelona-place/).
He has lost his starting spot, as Hansi Flick has been starting Eric Garcia on the right-back spot, even though the latter was playing as a center-back last season. In fact, the French defender did not play even a single minute for the Catalans in their last three games.
In such a context, the Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich have been linked with him once again in recent days. In this regard, the journalist Christian Falk has provided an update on the Bavarian side’s interest in the defender in his latest [CF Bayern Insider](https://cfbayerninsider.com/2026/10/the-bayern-insider-lennart-karl-future-depends-on-michael-olise-decision/?_gl=1*szv3pp*_up*MQ..*_ga*Mzc2NjQ2MDAxLjE3OTE0NDY5MTM.*_ga_R6SPJS73BT*czE3OTE0NDY5MTIkbzEkZzAkdDE3OTE0NDY5MTIkajYwJGwwJGgw) column.
The journalist confirms that Bayern are interested in the Barcelona defender, especially as they are looking for a new right-back in the market. The Bavarians are confident that Kounde will be able to get back to the level that he showed a few years ago. Still, the Feyenoord defender Givairo Read might be ahead of the Frenchman in their plans.
Furthermore, the Bundesliga champions will have to offload some of their current players before they will be able to make a move for the defender. Sacha Boey is one player whom they have been trying to move on, and they will again try to do so in the upcoming winter transfer window.
If they are successful in this endeavor, Bayern will work on signing a new right back, and Jules Kounde can very well be their preferred candidate. Meanwhile, Barcelona might also not be too averse to the idea of losing him, especially as they already have the right-back position well covered, and might even welcome the income from such a transfer.
