The English side of Chelsea and Sevilla were in the middle of a deal. Chelsea has offered to pay €35m for the Spanish youngster Jules Kounde along with Kurt Zouma being available for them to sign for a fee of £30m. Sevilla has denied the deal by and has asked for an additional €10 million, which takes the deal to €45 + Kurt Zouma. But recently, West ham has shown some keen interest on the Chelsea full back Kurt Zouma and has offered €20 for the French defender. Chelsea will not budge to a lesser fee but Zouma has only 2 years left on his contract which might provoke him to move to West ham.
Kounde is one of the best defenders Spain has and being just 22 year old, Chelsea will try their best to get this talent in their club. It will be a tough job for Chelsea to negotiate a deal with Sevilla as they are really tough negotiators. Looking at Kounde’s potential, Chelsea might think of offering their left back, Emerson Palmieri in the deal.
