Jules Kounde and Barcelona reach agreement, player closer to Nou Camp than Stamford Bridge

Reports state that Kounde has agreed a four-year deal with the Blaugrana.

French defender Jules Kounde has arguably been the hottest property of the 2022 summer transfer window so far, as multiple sources state that he has agreed personal terms with Catalunya club FC Barcelona, with only the fee to be finalised with his current club Sevilla.

Barcelona battle English club Chelsea for the signature of Kounde. The West London club have reportedly had a deal of €50 million + add ons rejected by Los Nervionenses, who are looking for a deal upwards over €60 million + add ons.
