Barcelona not giving up on Sevilla defender Jules Kounde - report

Barcelona are once again being linked with a move for Sevilla defender Jules Kounde who seems to be Xavi’s priority when it comes to strengthening the defense this summer.

The problem of course will be finances. Barca’s are a mess and Kounde will not come cheap as he has an €80 million buyout clause in his contract.

However, Barcelona are not ruling out a move and hope they can drive the price down by throwing a couple of players into the deal, according to Mundo Deportivo.

Clement Lenglet and Sergino Dest are the two names mentioned, and MD also reckon Sevilla have promised Kounde they will listen to any decent offers.
