Chelsea are close to giving up and could walk away from negotiations with Sevilla to sign Jules Kounde if there is no breakthrough soon. Tuchel is not entirely convinced about signing Koundé. There are doubts over whether the 5ft 10in defender is tall enough to succeed in the PL.
Koundé was never seen as Tuchel’s priority target but more of a club target as revealed, but he did approve the move. He was still keen on signing Kounde, after losing out on de Ligt and signing Koulibaly.
Barcelona revived their interest in Koundé over the weekend and are increasingly optimistic they will win the race to sign him. The Catalan club have continued to tell Koundé to wait for them.
