Jules Kounde, currently with Barcelona, is the latest name linked with a potential switch to Manchester City in multiple papers and online sources. The defender could become a key signing should the move materialise, as the club seeks to strengthen in a key area of the pitch. Manchester City continue discussions over the move, with no rival interest reported so far to complicate matters. Manchester City 's back line has been a real strength this season, conceding just 1.0 goals per game (6 in 6). Jules Kounde would be expected to slot into that unit and hold his own in an already solid setup. Barcelona continue to be linked with Sehrou Guirassy, Kobbie Mainoo and Ian Martin Subiabre while Manchester City are also rumoured to be tracking Warren Zaire-Emery, Nathaniel Brown and Kobbie Mainoo.
