Jules Koundé has made history by becoming the most expensive player in French football history, with his transfer from Rennes to Barcelona being announced on Tuesday.
The 21-year-old centre-back is expected to cost €75 million (around £64m), making him one of the most expensive players ever sold by a club in Europe.
Koundé's move to Barcelona comes after he was linked with moves to Manchester United and Chelsea in recent weeks. He has been described as "the best centre-back in France" and has impressed in several high-profile matches for Rennes this season.
Barcelona have already signed another high-profile signing in the form of Antoine Griezmann,Serie A Stadium but Koundé's arrival could add further depth to their defence.
It remains to be seen how Koundé will adapt to life in La Liga, but it seems that he will be a key player for Barcelona in the coming years.
Overall, Koundé's move to Barcelona is a major coup for the Catalan giants and sets them up for a strong future in European football.
