In light of his summer transfer saga, Jules Kounde has admitted that while he wouldn’t call the saga a complicated one, he is now concentrated on Sevilla and doing well for them. The French defender was heavily linked with a move to Chelsea this summer for a fee worth around €50 million.

According to AS, Chelsea are considering making a bid worth €120 million for Matthijs de Ligt next summer after their pursuit for Jules Kounde failed last summer. The Blues are looking to reinforce their defense and believe that the Dutch defender is the perfect man to complete their team.

According to Fabrizio Romano, Chelsea have opened official talks with Sevilla over a move for defender Jules Kounde with the club looking to sign the Frenchman this summer. The defender still has three years left on his current contract with the La Liga side and has been linked with a move away.

Sevilla president Jose Castro has confirmed that while Tottenham did indeed approach Julen Lopetegui, the Spaniard rejected the ‘dizzying offer’ and has opted to stay with the club. The North London side are looking for a new manager, with them having sacked Jose Mourinho more than two months ago.
