Chelsea are reportedly set to reignite their interest in Jules Kounde in the summer transfer window. That's according to Spanish news outlet Sport, via Sport Witness, who say Sevilla are 'doomed to sell' the 23-year-old defender after suffering a €30million (£23m) deficit after being knocked out of the Europa League round of 16 to West Ham United recently.
The Blues, as per manager Thomas Tuchel, were interested in the France international last summer, but the two clubs were unable to agree on a price for the centre-back. Tuchel said this in September 2021: "Marina [Granovskaia] was in charge and she is the best person who can be in charge.
"We were in contact and Petr Cech was in contact. Us three we knew about all of the situations. We knew things can happen, things can happen later and we were also very aware of the situation that, maybe, nothing happens at all.
