"The condition is straightforward. If Kounde plays in at least 60% of Barcelona's matches during a season, while appearing for at least 45 minutes in those games, Sevilla will receive an additional €2.5 million from the transfer agreement. According to AS, the French international has already reached that requirement in each of the previous seasons since arriving in Catalonia."
"So far this season, Kounde has played at least 45 minutes in 34 matches for Barcelona. However, to trigger the clause, he needs to reach 36 appearances. That means he is only two matches away from once again activating the bonus payment for Sevilla."
"Kounde suffered a muscle injury shortly before Barcelona's Copa del Rey semifinal clash against Atletico Madrid. Medical examinations later confirmed that he has a problem in the middle section of the biceps femoris in his left thigh. The injury is expected to keep him sidelined for several weeks."
Jules Kounde transferred to Barcelona from Sevilla in summer 2022 for approximately €50 million, with performance-based bonuses included in the agreement. One clause stipulates that if Kounde plays at least 45 minutes in 60% of Barcelona's matches during a season, Sevilla receives an additional €2.5 million. Kounde has successfully triggered this bonus in each previous season since joining Barcelona. Currently, he has appeared for 45+ minutes in 34 matches this season and needs just two more appearances to reach the 36-match threshold. However, a muscle injury to his left thigh has sidelined him for several weeks, though Barcelona expects his return before the season ends.
