Liverpool<\/a> are in a strong position to play in the Champions League<\/a> next season despite their defeat to Manchester United<\/a> last weekend, and it is a very crucial step for them with a major squad rebuild on the cards for the summer transfer<\/a> window.<\/p>\n

El Nacional has reported<\/a> that the Reds are prioritising a defensive rebuild and are preparing a bid worth \u00a370 million for Barcelona<\/a> defender Jules Kounde, whose versatility is arguably his biggest asset.<\/p>\n

\"Rememore<\/a><\/div>\n

He is a capable central defender, who has more recently developed into a well-rounded right back in recent years under Hansi Flick, with defensive intelligence, lightning speed and comfort with the ball at his feet.<\/p>\n

Kounde move possible at a high price<\/h2>\n

Jules Kounde is a key part of Barcelona\u2019s squad and with his exceptional quality and contribution for them, that is unlikely to change next season but a convincing offer could compel the La Liga giants to consider selling the former Sevilla star.<\/p>\n

Barca\u2019s financial problems are not as grave as they were a couple of years back, but for a club that has not yet managed to balance its salary structure, a \u00a370 million offer might prove enticing.<\/p>\n

Liverpool would undoubtedly be significantly bolstered by Kounde\u2019s addition to their squad, more as a centre back, considering their shortage of depth in the position, and secondarily at right back given Jeremie Frimpong\u2019s fitness and form.<\/p>\n

For Liverpool to have a strong chance at signing Kounde, it is vital they are able to offer him a salary that is exponentially higher than he earns at Camp Nou and more importantly, a winning project with Champions League participation.<\/p>\n
