In search of a central defender, Chelsea are again trying to sign 23-year-old Jules Kounde. After not being able to raise the transfer fee last summer, Barcelona are now endangering the deal.
Barcelona with exchange offer: According to the “Sun”, Chelsea want to sign Jules Kounde from Sevilla. But FC Barcelona is also interested in the 23-year-old and is apparently preparing an exchange deal with Seville. Accordingly, the Catalans would like to offer the Frenchman Clément Lenglet in exchange for the France international.
Short, compact, clear
Chelsea need defenders: Kounde was linked with a move to Stamford Bridge last year, but the “Blues” were unable to raise the required transfer fee of almost 80 million euros. In view of the fact that coach Thomas Tuchel only has three experienced central defenders after the departure of Antonio Rüdiger and Andreas Christensen, they dare to try again.
Open to new things: According to several reports, the 23-year-old is generally open to a change. Barcelona would like to take advantage of the benefits through an exchange offer because, in addition to the lower total cost, the ailing Lenglet could also be returned to his former club.
