Throughout the years, Paris Saint-Germain have repeatedly signed players from FC Barcelona. The team has signed Neymar Jr., Xavi Simons, Ousmane Dembélé, and Arnau Tenas from the Spanish side, and additional acquisitions are possible in the future.

PSG will allegedly want to improve their center-back spot this summer. This process began in January, with the introduction of Lucas Beraldo. However, when the transfer window begins, further movements are expected in the following weeks.

According to Mundo Deportivo, Chelsea, PSG, Manchester United, Inter Milan, and Newcastle United all have been interested in signing Jules Koundé. This summer, the Spanish club may aim to sell marketable players in order to boost their transfer resources and enhance their team.

PSG has previously determined whether Jules Kounde is a player they wish to pursue. The defender matches the Parisians' criteria because he is French, in his golden years, and is unlikely to command a high price. Koundé has participated in 44 Barcelona matches in all competitions this year, netting two goals and assisting four times. Furthermore, Transfermarkt estimates the 25-year-old's transfer worth at €50 million. 

Barcelona will have to determine which players they would like to sell prior to the transfer window in the summer, as a lot of clubs have shown enthusiasm for Jules Kounde.  The Catalan club is struggling financially and has to shed some of its stars in order to attract new players for the 2024/25 season.

Which Everton player has FC Barcelona desires on signing?

Everton has struggled to overcome financial fair play this season, and the Toffees plan to patch the gaps with pricey departure moves.Everton may contemplate moving Amadou Onana during the upcoming transfer window, however as reported by Football Insider, not even a substantial offer will persuade Everton to let him go.

The Toffees are apparently preparing for life without the defensive midfielder who has recently missed game practice. Previously, both Barcelona and West Ham had shown interest in Onana. The Catalans promised that they would send one of their stars to Goodison Park in exchange. It is worth noting that Onana may not be the only Everton player who can go in the summer transfer window.
