Correction, 18 October 2026: An earlier version of this article said Liverpool had officially confirmed contact over Jules Kounde. That was wrong. The report came from 4-4-2 and was reproduced on the club website’s Media Watch section, which is not a club statement. We have corrected the headline, rating and sources.
4-4-2 reports, via CaughtOffside, that Liverpool are among several clubs in contact with intermediaries over Barcelona defender Jules Kounde ahead of January. Liverpool have not commented; the club website reproduced the report in its Media Watch section, which states it does not represent the club’s position.
The club have not said who they approached or what response they received. This is contact rather than talks or a bid, which means nothing more than an enquiry at this stage.
Liverpool have been linked with centre-back options in the market for weeks.
