Zapping World Eleven EXCLUDED: Kalidou Koulibaly’s “Little Brother” interview!
Strange end to the season for Jules Koundé. After an aborted transfer to Chelsea last summer, the French defender was once again announced close to Bluesbefore undergoing hamstring surgery yesterday.
According The Sunthe decision of the former Bordeaux player to compete in the League of Nations with the France team, despite the physical risks, has infuriated Sevilla FC, which sees the recent operation as a brake on its transfer.
Sevilla furious, Koundé prefers Barça
And even if Chelsea would be ready to pay Jules Koundé’s 90 million release clause, Mundo Deportivo says the London team is not his favorite destination. The 23-year-old defender would thus dream of signing for Barça, which estimates that Sevilla will sell between 65 and 70 million euros. A sum that the Catalan club cannot raise before having reduced its workforce and reduced its payroll.
Undesirables like Sergino Dest or Francisco Trincao could therefore act as bargaining chips for Jules Koundé, but to see if it will suit Sevilla, who could easily blow up his player’s clause, sending him to the Premier League. Unless his operation has made some suitors cautious.
