There have been whispers of interest from Manchester City in Kounde recently, but a move never seemed likely and the defender will now commit his future to Barca.
Kounde has become a vital player for the Catalan giants, cementing his place in the starting XI at right-back after making the switch from center-back.
Barcelona have already locked down the likes of Raphinha, Gavi, Pedri and Lamine Yamal to long-term contracts, with Kounde the next to be ticked off the list.
