At Stamford Bridge, it has not long gone down at all nicely that Barca have beat them to Kounde. The Blues have been inclined to provide Sevilla 65 million for the Frenchman, but the participant favored Barcelona and waited until an offer got here alongside. There is reportedly already an agreement in principle for the participant to visit the Catalan capital.
Missing out on Kounde should see Chelsea make it more hard for Azpilicueta and Marcos Alonso to depart. That is at least what the 'Daily Star' said. The English paper lately wrote that the Chelsea board were taking into consideration preventing Barca from signing their two big objectives in defence for this summer out of revenge for getting the Sevilla relevant defender.
'Sport' believes that Chelsea are not going to have another choice but provide in. According to the Catalan paper, the club will get all the way down to work to try and whole the signings of Azpilicueta and Marcos Alonso. Amid the concern of dropping both for not anything in a yr's time, the source explains that they will pay attention to Barcelona's suggestion.
Both full-backs have reportedly stated yes to Barca. The Catalans simply need to do the maximum tough thing and that is persuade Chelsea. The Barca board are very clean that they're no longer going to spend crazily on either of the two. They pays between 10 and 15 million euros for Azpilicueta and Marcos Alonso on the maximum.
Barca are conscious that negotiations may be difficult because Chelsea, after what happened with Kounde, will now not make it easy in any respect. 'Sport' reviews that the fact that the Premier League starts offevolved in only over per week's time could help the Catalans because Tuchel needs to know as soon as viable what squad he could have for then.
