Reports suggest the Reds are ready to splash around €80 million, a sum that could persuade Barcelona to part ways with Koundé, especially as the club faces serious financial challenges that have hampered their ability to register new players.

Liverpool have been tracking Koundé for some time, and the club's management now believes this is the perfect moment to secure the Frenchman.

This season, Koundé has played in 45 matches for Barcelona, scoring 3 goals and providing 4 assists. According to Transfermarkt, his market value is estimated at €65 million, and his contract with the Blaugrana runs until 2030.
