Zidane raises concerns for Barcelona
Reports indicate that Zinedine Zidane is headed to take on the technical leadership of the French national team, raising concerns at Barcelona about defender Jules Koundé's future. The French Football Federation is expected to announce Zidane's appointment on July 28, with him officially starting his duties on September 1. This could impact Koundé's spot with the national team, especially since he was a key player under Didier Deschamps. Barcelona's management fears that Koundé's chances of playing with France may decline, potentially affecting his market value, which continues to attract European interest despite his contract running until 2030. The player prefers to operate as a central defender, though there are possibilities of adjusting his role based on Zidane's plans and the preferences of the coaches.
