"Sevilla" officially announced that they have acquired a promising center-back from the "Bordeaux" team. In the official statement, it is announced that a five-year contract has been signed with 20-year-old Jules Kounde. The footballer born in Paris had attracted the interest of more than one famous European club. It is claimed that "Sevilla" paid 25 million euros for him. This is the most expensive purchase in the history of Andalusians. Standing out with his physical and technical qualities, J. Kounde made his debut in the main "Bordeaux" team in January 2018. Last season, he played 51 games and scored two goals. The "Sevilla" team had to look for a center-back due to the fact that Sergi Gomez and Simon Kjaer are most likely to leave the club this summer.
