Chelsea want to sign Kounde before the market opens!

The sale of Chelsea to the American conglomerate headed by Todd Boehly, co-owner of the Los Angeles Dodgers and LA Lakers, has prompted the Blues to start considering signings for the future.

Possibly the most pressing position is central defence. Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen will continue their careers in Spain, so the Blues will be left with a shortage in this position.

Precisely, it seems that his successor could come from the Andalusian side. As 'Estadio Deportivo' reported, the English side have the firm intention of acquiring the services of Jules Kounde, who was already close to joining Stamford Bridge last season.

Now, Chelsea want to give a twist to the matter, and according to the aforementioned media outlet, they are looking to reach an economic agreement even before the transfer window opens. From the club, they are confident that Sevilla will lower the 80 million euros of his buyout clause.
