Arsenal will look to sign Barcelona defender Jules Kounde, but only if the Spanish giants fail to offload Ronald Araujo.

The 25-year-old has been one of Barca's best performers since arriving from Sevilla for €50 million in 2022.

However, he could be sold this summer if the Blaugrana were to receive an offer worth €60 million for his services.

The France international made 88 appearances for Barcelona across all competitions thus far.

Kounde's current deal expires in the summer of 2027.
