Regarding the French winger first of all, the situation remains as confused as Xavi would still like to be able to extend Dembélé, in order to save money for a possible replacement for Jules Koundé. Problem, Dembélé does not extend and Sport evokes these last hours an ultimatumwhich would be set for June 30, the date on which the contract of “Dembouz” officially expires, in order to settle the file.
Koundé to Chelsea, Jorge Mendes leans on it
The other priority is therefore called Jules Koundé, whom Barça would like to bring in to strengthen their rearguard. Problem, fight with Chelsea and its new owner promises to be particularly complicated. Especially since Chelsea would have a strong support: a certain Jorge Mendes. According to AS, the Portuguese agent would have taken advantage of his recent interview with Todd Boehly, the new owner of the Blues, to discuss the Jules Koundé case. While Jorge Mendes has entered Sevilla FC for having negotiated many deals there in the past, including Wissam Ben Yedder or Rony Lopes.
to summarize
The two French internationals Ousmane Dembélé and Jules Koundé are part of Barca’s plans for next season. But things are complicated … When one still does not extend, the other agitates on the side of Chelsea.
