Chelsea has long been interested in Sevilla’s Jules Kounde, a defender. The Blues appeared to have finally struck gold this summer, despite failing to sign him last summer.
Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!Despite the Londoners and Kounde agreeing to personal terms last summer, a deal finally fell through, leaving the France international with little choice but to remain in Spain. The 23-year-old Kounde has been Thomas Tuchel’s defensive target for a long time.
However, Sevilla president Jose Castro, who talked to the media at the time about Kounde’s attempted sale to Stamford Bridge, as published by the club’s official website, said: “We’re all in losses this year, but we would have posted a profit had we sold Koundé. The fact that we chose not to sell demonstrates our robust financial position.
One year later, the 23-year-old is as near as he’s ever been to leaving the Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan Stadium.
Fabrizio Romano, a renowned transfer specialist, recently reported that Todd Boehly’s Blues faxed over the papers for the planned move early on Friday morning in the hopes of eventually concluding a £55 million transaction.
