Bayern Munich facing record transfer?
Bayern Munich is reportedly considering signing Jules Kounde from Barcelona during the winter transfer window. Speculation is now mounting about a club record transfer fee.
According to El Nacional, Barcelona is demanding a transfer fee of 50 million euros for Kounde. If Bayern Munich actually pays that much for the 27-year-old Frenchman in January, he would become the club's most expensive winter signing in their history.
Currently, Sacha Boey holds this record. For Kounde's French compatriot, who like the Barcelona player is primarily at home on the right side of defense, Bayern Munich paid a substantial 30 million euros to Galatasaray in January 2024.

Bayern Munich: Kounde reportedly top transfer target
Spanish outlet Sport and transfer expert Ekrem Konur had previously reported on Bayern Munich's interest in Kounde in agreement with one another. According to their reports, the right-back is the primary target for the club's squad planners at Säbener Straße during the winter window.
Bayern Munich reportedly already has a plan for how to finance a Kounde signing.
According to reports, the German record champions want to first sell centre-back Min-jae Kim for around 40 million euros and simultaneously save his salary of eight million euros per year.
