The transfer of Jules Koundé He is being one of the busiest in the transfer market, and the French central defender is on the wish list of several teams. Although it is true that we recently reported on Tottenham’s offer to convince the Sevilla F.C.we now know that, based on information from Jose Manuel Garciaa well-known journalist in the Sevillian city, the Chelsea He is one step away from reaching an agreement with the Seville team, as expected despite the fact that Sevilla rejected the offer of 55 million.
Chelsea have had several phases in the negotiations with Jules Koundé, from having him practically tied up through an agreement with the French footballer to denying interest in him to focus on other possibilities. However, it seems that this time the Londoners have become serious and are about to reach an agreement with Sevilla for the figures demanded by the rojiblancos with a possible offer of 60 million euros plus 5 in variables.
Barça never offered Sevilla
In this way, Jules Koundé’s soap opera is about to end against the interests of the FC Barcelona. According to the aforementioned source, the culé team has used Jorge Mendes as an intermediary to test possible formulas with the aim of convincing Sevilla, but they never presented a formal offer. In addition to this, the Blaugrana have tried to pressure the French defender to only accept offers from the Catalan team, but Koundé has always put the interests of the Sevilla team above.
It would not be the first time that the culé team tries to execute these maneuvers, because with Raphinha they did exactly the same thing and Leeds was forced to give in despite the fact that Chelsea offered a higher amount, according to said journalist. Even so, Sevilla made it clear from the beginning that they wanted money and that they would not give in to formulas that included players involved and, finally, it seems that they will achieve their goal with the permission of Koundé, who has never considered causing any kind of prejudice to the club in this sense and welcomes his departure for London.
