The signing was formalised today at the club’s offices in the presence of president Joan Laporta.

The agreement between both parties had already been reached several days earlier, but today marked the official confirmation of Kounde’s long-term commitment.

Speaking after putting pen to paper, Kounde expressed his delight at continuing his journey with Barcelona.

“I’m very happy to renew. It was quite simple. I’m very happy, and for me and the club, it was easy to reach an agreement,” he told the club’s official channels.

“Goals? The sky’s the limit, as we say in France. That’s my objective. We’re lucky to be at a club that competes for every title. We’re going for more to win even more than last season.”

He further underlined his commitment to the long-term project. “I’m very proud to extend my contract. It was very easy. Club and I were clear about it.

It will be for eight seasons, and what motivates us every day is winning titles. We have a team that can compete against anyone. Being a legend isn’t on my mind. People say that. I do receive love from people.”
