Zapping World Eleven EXCLUDED: Kalidou Koulibaly’s “Little Brother” interview!
There are things that don’t change at Chelsea. If the Blues have changed ownership, Roman Abramovich leaving the hand to Tedd Boehly following the Russian invasion in Ukraine and the various sanctions against the ex-boss of the club, they will once again be part of the great animators of the summer. For the moment, it is rather in the ranks of departures that the Londoners have stood out, with the end of the contract of Antonio Rüdiger, who left for Real Madrid, and Andreas Christensen, close to Barça. This inevitably forces the leaders to accelerate to strengthen the rearguard, and a name regularly cited logically returns to the front of the stage, that of Jules Koundé.
Chelsea will make their offer
Last summer, Thomas Tuchel was very close to luring him into his net, in vain, Sevilla FC having finally closed the door to a possible departure. But a year later, the German technician has not forgotten the French international and is preparing to make a substantial offer. According to information from Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano, specializing in the transfer window, Chelsea will send a check for 65 million euros to try to convince the Andalusians. The Spaniards are still waiting for the official offer knowing that his clause is €80m and he still has two years left on his contract in La Liga. The transfer window opens its doors tonight, and the days ahead promise to be breathtaking. It remains to be seen if the Blues succeed this time in convincing their Sevillian counterparts.
Jules Koundé deal, still priority for Chelsea. Tuchel wants him. Talks are well advanced on player side, while Sevilla are still waiting to receive the opening bid for the French center back. ? #CFC
Price tag will be around €65m, less than €80m release clause.
