Barcelona are set to land Jules Kounde from Sevilla according to Fabrizio Romano.

Both parties met this morning and personal terms have already been agreed. 

Kounde’s second suitor Chelsea, are already growing tired of the process and are said to have given up on signing the defender.

The 23-year-old will leave the Sanchez-Pizjuan for a club capable of competing for major honours for some time. Chelsea tendered a bid that was accepted by Servilla but Barcelona are in for another surprise..

Kounde joined Sevilla in the summer of 2019 from Bordeaux and has since proven himself to be one of the finest centre-backs in La Liga and European football. He built a superb partnership at the heart of Sevilla’s defence alongside Diego Carlos although, like the Brazilian, it appears he’ll soon be departing for pastures new.
