Barcelona are close to beating Chelsea to the signing of Jules Koundé after agreeing a €50m fee with Sevilla for the France defender.
Chelsea thought they had won the race to sign Koundé last week, but Thomas Tuchel will have to shift his focus to other defensive targets after Barça derailed his transfer plans once again. Wesley Fofana is one option for Tuchel, though Leicester will not allow the 21-year-old centre-back to leave unless they receive a huge bid for him.
