Jules Kounde's story has taken a new twist, as it appears he will opt for Barcelona over Chelsea.
Barcelona appeared to have given up on Kounde yesterday after failing to match Chelsea's bid.
Before the Blues' £55 million bid was accepted, personal terms had been agreed upon with the Frenchman's camp for about a year.
Sevilla were also said to be pressuring him to join Thomas Tuchel's team because they wanted him in the Premier League.
As a result of all of this, Spanish media outlets reported last night that Kounde's transfer to Chelsea was essentially completed and that Barcelona would not be involved.
However, reputable Spanish journalist Gerard Romero announced on Twitter this morning via Jijantes Fc that Sevilla and Barcelona had reached an agreement to sign Kounde.
