According to a rumour in England, Chelsea FC and Sevilla defender Jules Kounde are nearing a €60 million agreement.
According to The Guardian, FC Barcelona and Chelsea FC are vying for the services of the French defender, and the Blues are reportedly working on a deal to get him.
According to the same story, Kounde has already agreed to personal terms with the south-west London club, but Chelsea FC and Sevilla still need to work out a price arrangement.
The same report claims that Sevilla would accept a €60 million offer for Kounde, but it's not certain if Chelsea FC are willing to pay the La Liga team's asking price.
The Guardian say that Chelsea FC’s biggest hurdle to securing a deal for Kounde could be FC Barcelona after the Catalan side beat the Blues to the signing of Raphinha earlier this summer.
The newspaper report goes on to add that the Stamford Bridge outfit attempted to sign Kounde last summer but the Blues were unable to agree a transfer fee with Sevilla.
Chelsea FC have already signed Kalidou Koulibaly in a big-money deal from Napoli this summer after Tuchel looked to bolster his rearguard options following the departures of Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen.
Kounde – who made his senior international debut for France last year – has netted nine times in 133 games in all competitions over the past three seasons at Sevilla.
The defender, who is half Beninese and half French and was born in Paris, came through the Bordeaux youth system before earning a move to Sevilla in the summer of 2019.
Meanwhile, Chelsea FC will take on London rivals Arsenal in their next pre-season friendly clash this weekend.
Let me hasten to reiterate that seeking knowledge frees you from the captivity and prison of ignorance and darkness. So my good friends, brothers and sisters in Islam, seek beneficial knowledge and wisdom with the correct ethics, aiming to benefit society with the knowledge and hoping for reward from the Almighty Allah. Laziness is very attractive to ignorance, so wherever there is laziness in the quest for knowledge, be certain to find ignorance married happily to Mr. laziness, making a perfect couple with darkness as their residence. Corrections, criticisms and the like are welcome as usual. They keep me on my toes and on the look out for much information. Since information is key in this day and age.
