Would Denzel Dumfries be a sufficient alternative to Chelsea transfer target Jules Kounde?
The Frenchman is now Barcelona-bound after the Blues withdrew from the race due to the 23-year-old's preference to seal his ideal Camp Nou dream. Whilst Barca and Sevilla negotiate a fee for the central defender, it is expected that the offer coming in from the Catalan giants will be less than what the Blues had verbally agreed with Monchi.
football.london understands that the west Londoners did all they could to seal the Les Bleus international including agreeing verbally on a £55million deal with the Andalusians. Personal terms were also agreed upon some time ago but just like with Raphinha, Xavi's inspirational phone call reportedly turned Kounde's head.
