কাউন্ডে ট্রান্সফার রুমর

এই খবরটিরই महत्व

আমি 2 a.m. -এ 3-তম espresso-এরসঙ্গেযখন ‘লেভারকুজেন Kounde-এরদিক্‌এড়াচ্ছ’,তখনআমারমসগতবোধশুদ্‌ধহয়।আমি’খবরগুলি’পছন্দকরি,তবূঃউদ্‌দীপনহয়। Kounde 2023-এ Liverpool-এ5-বছরসহচুক্তিতেযোগদান;2028-পরিমণḍ. Leverkusen now explore talks? That’s curious. It suggests either deep strategic interest or… someone forgot to check the contract clause.

The Numbers Don’t Lie

Kounde isn’t just a name drop. In his first season at Anfield, he logged over 30 appearances across all competitions—with an xGChain contribution of 1.8 per game (per StatsBomb). That puts him in elite company among central defenders.

But here’s where it gets interesting: his defensive metrics don’t scream ‘top-tier’—he ranks only 58th among CBs in successful tackles per 90 minutes (Opta). So why is he valuable? Because of what he does before the tackle.

His pass completion rate (94%) and progressive passes (17 more than average defender) suggest he’s an architect—not just a wall. Exactly what Xabi Alonso wants in his backline.

Leverkusen’s Defensive Evolution

Leverkusen didn’t win last season by being flashy—they won by being predictable. A clean sheet every other game? That wasn’t luck. It was system design.

Now they’re looking to upgrade their defensive spine without breaking their model. Kounde fits that mold—he doesn’t disrupt rhythm; he enhances it.

And yes, this has nothing to do with Florian Wirtz’s future contract talk—Sky Sports confirmed two separate deals. Which means: no leverage play here, just pure interest.

Contract Clauses & Market Reality

Liverpool signed Kounde for £55M—and they’re committed to him long-term. But here’s a number most fans overlook: £9M release clause kicks in after January 2026.

So if Leverkusen want him now, they’ll need more than budget—they’ll need patience and negotiation finesse.

Meanwhile, Real Madrid and PSG have both scouted him quietly this summer. This isn’t desperation—it’s due diligence from top clubs who know value when they see it.
