Sevilla FC set Chelsea deadlines with Kounde

Sevilla FC are still trying to balance the books before 31st June. As was already suspected in Sevilla, the transfer of Diego Carlos would not really make the club's coffers whole, as the sale that Monchi was really going to depend on was that of Jules Kounde. Despite the great interest from several teams, the Frenchman is still at Sevilla and that is a cause for concern.

Now, a new chapter is opening. According to the British media 'Daily Mail', Sevilla FC have given Chelsea until 5th July to clarify, both player and club, their positions. The English side were the team most interested in Jules Kounde, but it is true that, despite having reached an agreement with the Frenchman, the offer that meets Monchi's expectations has not been received.

FC Barcelona is waiting for all this. The 'Cule' side can't really compete for Jules Kounde, as teams like Chelsea or even Bayern Munich have much more money at the moment. That is why Joan Laporta is waiting, but not losing sight of a player that Xavi Hernandez wants.

Undoubtedly, the current situation of Jules Kounde and the transfer market itself is starting to make the Diego Carlos deal a very good one. Sevilla FC managed to get Aston Villa to quickly put an offer on the table at a time when no club has the courage to do so quickly. Now, at Nervión, they will have to continue to wait, fearing that they will lose valuable time in the summer soap opera in the Andalusian city.
