Jules Kounde is reportedly in advanced talks to sign for Barcelona, amid Chelsea links.
Chelsea's new owner Todd Boehly is set to back Thomas Tuchel in the transfer market, with the club currently being linked with a host of names every day.
The Blues remain hopeful of signing Kounde this summer, with the Sevilla defender favouring a switch to Stamford Bridge. Chelsea have had the France international on their radar for some time now.
