Jules Koundé, Barcelona’s versatile French international, has once again been linked with a move to Spurs. And once again, the answer appears to be a firm no.
Sources from Tottenham have denied that Koundé has any interest in joining the club, and no negotiations are currently taking place.
The latest round of speculation
The rumor mill kicked into gear with reports suggesting Tottenham was contemplating a bid of around €65 million, roughly £56 million or $75 million, for the Barcelona defender. Barcelona has reportedly signaled a willingness to move certain players as part of a broader squad refresh, and Koundé’s profile as both a right-back and centre-back made him an attractive target for a Spurs side in need of defensive reinforcement.
Koundé, who represented France at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, has previously expressed a preference for clubs competing at the Champions League level.
