It seems that "Barcelona" overcame "Chelsea" in the race for Sevilla defender Jules Kounde's signature. According to Fabrizio Romano, "Barcelona" is closing in on J. Kounde's transfer. An agreement between the player and the club has been reached, and now the "Catalans" just need to reach a final agreement with Sevilla. "Chelsea" grew tired of waiting for a positive response from the 23-year-old Frenchman, leading to the "aristocrats" being ready to hunt for other targets in the center-back position. The London club wanted to snatch Nordi Mukiele from PSG, and also showed interest in Nathan Ake, who ultimately stayed at "Manchester City." J. Kounde will be "Barca's" fifth newcomer this summer alongside Franck Kessie, Roberto Lewandowski, Andreas Christensen, and Raphinha.
