Barcelona's trying to hijack Kounde from Chelsea. Fabrizio Romano is reporting that they are preparing a bid, although Sevilla denies negotiating with anybody else apart from Chelsea.
Sevilla knows how to negotiate and will try to pull other clubs into a bidding war - Kounde is highly rated and there will be many clubs interested.
Still - Chelsea has been working on that deal for a very long time and he was their 1st choice CB, so I feel it's just Sevilla's game of extracting more money.
This should be the funniest transfer I've ever seen during the transfer window between Barcelona and Chelsea. Have you also noticed they have hijacked Raphina's deal and also renewing Dembele with a new contract ?
Did you also see the tweet of Thomas Tuchel expressing he's pain over Barcelona ? Lmfao. But truthfully, I I was Kounde I'll choose Barcelona, they have a higher tendency of winning me trophies to Chelsea. No offense and Bias! Also, he's already familiar with how La Liga goes and won't gind it difficult to blend into the defense at Camp Nou. Premier League is a tougher one, they place thier attention of French players in bigger clubs, sure he'll be next.
Chances of Barcelona getting Konde are higher than Chelsea. He is yet to take a decision on the next move. He accepted terms with Barcelona already some weeks ago also Chelsea agreed transfer price with Sevilla but this depends on the player now.
