Barcelona is reportedly ready to listen to offers for defenders Jules Kounde and Alejandro Balde in the upcoming summer transfer window. According to journalist Matteo Moretto, the club does not consider these players untouchable, which comes as a surprise given their previous roles in the team.

Kounde, a regular at right-back, signed a new contract with Barcelona last summer but has faced criticism for inconsistent performances this season. Balde is also not guaranteed a future at the club, adding to the uncertainty around Barcelona's defensive lineup.

Both players are currently sidelined due to injuries but are expected to return after the international break. Potential transfers of Kounde and Balde could significantly impact Barcelona's defensive strategy, opening the door for new signings. This move highlights the club's intent to maintain flexibility in squad building and willingness to part ways with players not meeting expectations.

For fans and analysts, the key question remains how favorable the offers will be and what effect these changes might have on the team's near future. Barcelona views the transfer window as an opportunity to make adjustments that could help the club regain its top standing in European football.
