Barcelona are reportedly in “advanced negotiations” with Sevilla regarding a move for French center-back Jules Kounde.
Catalunya Radio are reporting the defender is a “priority” for Barcelona and could be achieved if the club vote to activate their “economic levers” on Thursday.
Barcelona are expected to pay around €55-60 million for Kounde and could also include a player in the transfer. There are several players mentioned including Sergino Dest, Clement Lenglet, or even Francisco Trincao.
Kounde is contracted to Sevilla until 2024 but there has been speculation about his future all season. Premier League side Chelsea have also been linked with Kounde but it’s been claimed he prefers a move to the Camp Nou.
