Barcelona defender Jules Kounde has been spotted at the club’s training facilities just days after exiting Euro 2024.
Kounde’s France were knocked out by Spain at the semi final stage with the right back amongst those players granted an extended summer break.
However, despite the expectation of him jetting off on holiday, reports from Mundo Deportivo spied him at the Ciutat Esportiva Joan Gamper today.
New Barcelona boss Hansi Flick has been putting his available players through their paces in the opening two days of preseason ahead of flying out to the USA later this month.

Kounde has developed a habit for returning to club training early from international duty but Flick will likely encourage him to take a break.
Barcelona’s preseason tour of North America starts on July 31 against Premier League champions Manchester City in Orlando followed by clashes with Real Madrid and AC Milan.
