Chelsea are plotting a move worth around €65 million for Jules Kounde. The French international has had a great start to this season. He is one of the key players for Barcelona right now, and hence the Spanish club’s decision will also come into play.
The Blues are keen to improve their defence next year. They have had good start under Enzo Maresca but the defence is still lacking. Players like Benoit Badiashile and Axel Disasi have struggled and hence may be sold in near future.
The Blues will look for a defender who is young and is of highest quality. They are not shy of spending big and hence may be seen making some big moves very soon. Now, Barca defender is on their radar and it is not the first time they have shown interest in him.
Chelsea plotting a move for Jules Kounde
Chelsea have been interested in Kounde since a long time now. They were keen to sign him from Seville itself but the defender joined Barcelona instead. Now, they can once again make a move for him and Barca may accept the deal too.
Kounde has been very good for Barca this season. He has scored 1 goal and picked 4 assists in 16 games and helped his club to secure the first position in La Liga. He is now a regular player for France international team too.
But, Barca are having some financial problems and hence may agree to part ways with Kounde for a fair price. According to Fichajes, Chelsea are plotting a move of around €65 million for Kounde. Barca may find this price just enough to part ways with Kounde.
The Blues will get a quality defender who can operate as a right back and may also play as a centre back if required. In addition, he is only 25 years old which means he will soon enter the prime of his career.
