Sevilla have dropped the biggest transfer hint yet that Jules Kounde is set to move on this summer to join Chelsea amid Diego Carlos Aston Villa worry.
The Blues have held a long-term interest in the Les Bleus international who was denied his dream move on transfer deadline day last summer due to sporting director Monchi moving the goalposts in the 11th hour. This forced Marina Granovskaia to play the waiting game- one that has worked a treat with the La Liga side now willing to accept a reduced price deal to help balance their books amid financial worries.
Diego Carlos' £26million move to Villa Park had threatened the possibilities of Kounde securing his ideal move the second time around with most clubs unwilling to usually lose two key players from their backline in the same transfer window. However, the financial situation in La Liga as demonstrated by Barcelona's new financial woes also reflects the current state of the Andalusian side who still need the funds despite the cash injection that Steven Gerrard's side aided them.
