Kounde is said to have ‘encouraged’ Barcelona officials in early attempts to gauge his interest in a new deal at the club.
The France international turned down a move to Stamford Bridge before joining Barca from Sevilla back in 2022.
Kounde is yet to miss a game for Hansi Flick’s side, starting 42 of his 45 games across all competitions so far this season.
