According to Spanish reporter Helena Condis Edo, Jules Kounde is prepared to wait for Barcelona instead of accepting Chelsea’s offer.
It’s claimed that after talking with both Xavi and Thomas Tuchel, the Sevilla centre-back prefers Barcelona’s project for ‘sporting criteria’ – whatever that means.
Barcelona have not yet submitted the offer for Kounde but are preparing to bid over €50m.
Chelsea have made a more attractive offer to Sevilla but it looks like the Raphinha story does repeat itself – even though the Blues were negotiating Kounde’s move for over a year already.
