Confirmed: Chelsea sacrifice two players to sign 60 million rated world class defender as Rudiger and others head the other way ,deal done for star man .
Jules Koundé will be ‘sacrificed’ by
Sevilla this summer as Chelsea look
to sign him again after missing out last year.
That’s according to La Colina de Nervion,
who say Sevilla’s poor performances in
Europe this season ‘will force them to
sell’ a player this summer, and Koundé
is the likely candidate.
He flirted with the Premier League and
Chelsea last summer, and this year will
be no different once he has finished
the campaign in Spain.
Sevilla made a huge effort to keep him
last summer in the hope there would
be a big achievement this season, but
that is likely to be restrained to a third straight
Champions League qualification, a success
in itself but less than what the club
were hoping for.
They were disappointing in the Champions
League and Europa League, and those
poor performances mean they ‘need
to sell in the summer transfer window’.
Koundé is the ‘best positioned’ to be
sold off, and last summer, he was closer
to the Premier League than ever before
when Chelsea pushed to sign him.
They remain his ‘main suitors’ and have
an advantage over their competitors as
they reached a pre-agreement with him
last summer when the operation fell
down in the latter days of the window.
They’ll have to renegotiate with Sevilla
over a deal and and ‘it would be very
rare’ for Koundé to leave the club for
less than €60m should he go.
That would put him among the club’s
best-ever signings, given he arrived
for €25m in 2019 and has helped them
to win the Europa League and qualify
for the Champions League three times.
Those, coupled with the likelihood
of him ‘filling the coffers’ at Sevilla, make
his sale one that Sevilla are more than
happy to let happen.
