Bayern Munich eye Jules Kounde pending player sales

Summary

Bayern Munich is interested in signing Barcelona defender Jules Kounde, who has impressed during the 2026 World Cup. While Bayern admires Kounde, they cannot pursue him unless they first offload players like Sacha Boey. Kounde has been on Bayern's radar for years and could enhance their defense if a deal materializes. Bayern recently signed Nathaniel Brown and Ismael Saibari but may need to clear roster space for any further acquisitions.
