France international Jules Koundé has officially extended his contract with FC Barcelona until 2030, the Spanish champions confirmed on Friday. The 26-year-old right-back, who first joined the Catalan giants from Sevilla in a €50 million deal three years ago, is now locked in for the long term.
Omo, this one sweet Barcelona fans die — because Koundé has become a fan favorite at Camp Nou. Since arriving, he has lifted two La Liga titles (2023 and 2025) and consistently delivered rock-solid performances at the back.
A Hero in El Clásico Memories
Koundé carved his name into Barça history earlier this year when he scored an extra-time winner against Real Madridin the 2025 Copa del Rey final. That moment didn’t just win the trophy; it won the hearts of culés worldwide.
Omo, Madrid fans still never recover from that heartbreak — and now they’ll be seeing him in a Barcelona shirt for at least five more years!
Relentless Consistency
Since his arrival, Koundé has been a symbol of reliability. He’s already played 141 matches for Barcelona, including a crazy run of 86 consecutive appearances between November 2023 and April 2025. Talk about a player who doesn’t rest!
Barcelona Eye Title Defense
The timing of this announcement is also strategic. Barcelona begin their La Liga title defense against Mallorca this Saturday, and having Koundé’s future secured sends a strong message of stability and ambition from the club.
What This Means
For Barcelona, tying down Koundé until 2030 is more than just a contract renewal — it’s a statement. With his versatility in defense, leadership presence, and history of clutch performances, the Blaugranes have secured a key piece for their future.
Omo, one thing is clear — Koundé no dey go anywhere. Camp Nou go still dey shout his name for years to come.
