In a statement, Sevilla have confirmed that they have reached an agreement in principle to sign Isco Alarcon on a free transfer after the Andalusian’s contract with Real Madrid expired. The 30-year-old spent nine years at the Santiago Bernabeu, making 352 appearances while contributing to 109 goals.

Sevilla Sporting director Monchi has confirmed rumours that Chelsea did have a deal in place for Jules Kounde but then stepped out of the race after doubts arose over the defender’s profile. The 23-year-old looked set to sign for the London side but has been announced as a Barcelona player now.

According to Mundo Deportivo, Barcelona have big plans for the summer as they are looking to sign a trio of Robert Lewandowski, Jules Kounde and Bernardo Silva before the window closes. The La Liga giants have had financial issues over the last year and have thus yet to make any move this summer.

In light of rumours of an injury, Sevilla have confirmed that Jules Kounde is set to have surgery on a minor pelvis injury that dates back several months prior in the coming weeks. The defender has been heavily linked with a move to Chelsea with Kounde reportedly keen on joining the Blues.
