If the transfer of Jules Koundé delights fans and Barcelona leaders, it also suits those of the Girondins de Bordeaux. While the scapular club has just been saved from a demotion to National, The Team reveals that the FCGB will receive 5 million euros with the deal for Koundé, not including training compensation.
