Sevilla star Jules Kounde admits move to Man City 'would have been a good opportunity' but claims he is 'happy' to remain in Spain... despite growing interest from Manchester United

Jules Kounde admits a potential move to Manchester City would have been a good opportunity, but reaffirmed he is happy to remain at Sevilla.

Before signing Ruben Dias from Benfica in a deal worth around £65million, City were keen on the Sevilla star, with reports suggesting the Spanish side turned down a £50million for the 21-year-old.

Kounde has since claimed we would have jumped at the chance to play in the English top flight but has no regrets over a move falling through and is happy to remain in LaLiga with Sevilla.
