Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!The Frenchman has been at the center of yet another transfer crisis between Chelsea and the Catalan team, despite Chelsea being widely thought to be the favorite to finalize a deal at first.
Todd Boehly and his group appear to have been unable to close the deal up to this point despite having reportedly agreed on a price with Sevilla for the move.
Due to this, Barcelona was able to intervene and get in touch with the defender directly. According to Romano, they have now reached an understanding over a future deal.
“It’s going to be insane in the next several hours,” he said. The player would be willing to accept the personal conditions offering they have received from Barcelona, according to a message they got from Jules Kounde’s camp in the early hours of Sunday morning.
Open to Barcelona’s demands is Kounde
“He’d be excited and prepared to join Barcelona. This is how it feels on the inside. Naturally, this does not indicate that the transaction is finalized. After all, Sevilla spent the whole weekend claiming that Chelsea is the only party with whom they are in negotiations.
Jules Kounde is open to joining Barca, nevertheless, and Xavi Hernandez has often phoned him. Jules Kounde approved this probable move while waiting for Barcelona while Xavi is pressing.
Blues supporters will be reminded of the Raphinha affair, in which the Brazilian refused to accept Chelsea’s offer from Leeds United in favor of the Spanish team.
It’s hard to remain unconcerned about the situation, particularly following the humiliating loss to Arsenal over the weekend. Given the deficiencies of the current crop during the first half of that game, it is obvious that the Blues need additional defenders who can play in a four-back formation.
Presnel Kimpembe, a defender Thomas Tuchel has previously coached, is still reportedly a target for the club, though it will be challenging to gauge his commitment to PSG.
The Blues ought to think about making a bid for Josko Gvardiol, a young defender who is already having success with RB Leipzig. He may be listed as a backup at the moment, but with less than two weeks left in the season, the team needs to move swiftly to guarantee they are ready for Everton.
