Kounde will soon make his Barcelona debut. In order to close the transaction as quickly as possible and put an end to one of the transfer sagas of the summer, an agreement has been struck between the Catalans and Sevilla.
According to "Sport," Barca will provide a set payment of 50 million euros. Barcelona may also make additional payments of 10 million euros for the French defender, who will sign a four-year contract with them until 2026.
Barcelona and Kounde recently came to a pre-agreement, but Sevilla's approval of the deal's financial terms was still required. The outcome of the negotiations was swiftly successful, and an announcement is anticipated in the next few days.
Kounde, who had tried everything to join the Catalan team, now distances himself even more from a Chelsea contract. Although the Blues made a higher offer, the France international choose to play at Camp Nou.
Kounde is recuperating in Lagos, Portugal, after having surgery on his pubis. He did not travel to Lisbon with the Sevilla team for their match against Sporting Lisbon on Sunday. He will go to the Catalan capital in the coming hours to sign his new deal.
