Barcelona are once again proving to be a nuisance for Chelsea in the summer transfer window. Blues supporters will be sick of hearing the name of the La Liga club as they try to muscle their way in to sign Jules Kounde.
Barca have already signed Raphinha after they hijacked Chelsea's attempts to sign the Brazil international. The Blues had already agreed a fee with Leeds United for the winger, but Barca ended up signing the Brazilian.
This time around, Chelsea were pushing forward in their attempts to sign long-term target Kounde as Thomas Tuchel looks to bolster his defensive options. football.london was told earlier in the week that the Blues were confident Sevilla would accept an offer worth around £51million straight-up, with add-ons and bonuses included.
