Kounde ‘agrees Chelsea move’ as Blues look to secure deal for French star

By Our Reporter On Jul 19, 2022 0

Chelsea have agreed personal terms with Jules Kounde ahead of a potential £47million transfer, according to Spanish media.

The Blues have held a long-standing interest in the Frenchman having seen a last-minute deal collapse last summer.

Kounde was believed to have been furious with his heart set on a move to Stamford Bridge.

But according to Marca, the centre-back may still get his dream move after a deal was said to have been struck between the player and club.

And Sevilla now expect a formal bid to be launched, set to be a little more than the £42.8m Chelsea offered last summer.

It is understood personal terms has already been agreed with Kounde, who is also linked with Barcelona and PSG.

And the Spanish and French giants do still remain in the race for his signature, although Chelsea have now become frontrunners.

Blues boss Thomas Tuchel is building a whole new backline after seeing Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen leave for free.
