The never-ending story of what position Jules Kounde will play at Barcelona has gained a new chapter thanks to the arrival of Hansi Flick, and with the French defender returning to the squad following his vacation after Euro 2024 and set to make his preseason debut against AC Milan on Tuesday, it was only a matter of time before the issue was brought up again.
Kounde has infamously played right-back against his initial wishes for most of his time at Barça under Xavi Hernández, a role which Jules performed mostly well despite his original reluctance. He then played a fantastic European Championships with France in that position in the summer, and it seems as though he will at least start the season in the same role for Hansi Flick.
