Chelsea pull away and Barça take the lead in the race for Jules Koundé, the offer from Barcelona

FC Barcelona has recovered some of its economic activity and the Culés can get going in the transfer market. Xavi Hernandez's team now has the solvency to make several important and costly signings, and one of them could be Jules Koundé, whose sale is of paramount importance for Sevilla FC to start their current transfer window.

Jules Koundé has had two spectacular seasons that have placed him among the best central defenders in Europe. Along with Diego Carlos, they have been one of the most reliable center-back pairing in the world at Sevilla FC. That is why Chelsea were very interested in signing the young French talent last summer, but in the end, he stayed with Sevilla, waiting for him to finish this season with the Andalusians.

Chelsea are interested once again in the Sevilla center-back but, they seem to have opted for other options. The fact is that this sudden withdrawal on the part of the Blues leaves the way open for FC Barcelona, who are determined to sign Jules Koundé. With Chelsea not pressing and Sevilla's need to sell the French star, Barça have many options to be victorious in the negotiations for the French defender, who would be happy to wear the Culé shirt.

What will Barcelona offer for Koundé

In this way, FC Barcelona could put together a high quality team, but first it will have to send a convincing offer to Sevilla. For this, the last offer that has been shuffled has been 40 million euros plus Memphis Depay. For the moment,  nothing is for certain, but the culés seem to have the advantage in the signing of Koundé.
