It's looked nailed on for a while now, but there is now some concern that Chelsea may miss out on Jules Kounde. Reports from Spain in recent days claim that Barcelona and Sevilla are in 'advanced negotiations' for the France international, despite Chelsea's strong interest.
football.london has been told for a while now that Kounde and Chelsea have a verbal agreement over personal terms. However, the Blues are yet to submit an official offer to Sevilla for the highly-rated defender, who came so close to a move to Stamford Bridge 12 months ago.
Barca have been interested in Kounde for the last few months, with Xavi trying to start a new revolution at the Nou Camp. Their financial woes are well-documented, but it doesn't seem to stop the Catalan club in the transfer window.
