Chelsea have been hit with yet another massive setback in their quest for a new defender as their primary target has reportedly asked for another move.
The Blues failed to secure Jules Kounde’s signature in the summer. That was only a minor hitch, as reinforcements at the back weren’t an urgent need for Thomas Tuchel. However, since then the German boss has had a torrid time in transfer negotiations.
Sevilla centre-back Kounde began to slip from Chelsea’s grasp. And he seems to be off the table altogether.
A recent report stated the France international prefers a move to Manchester United. Now Chelsea’s alternative option has made a similar decision.
