A few days ago, according to the French "Le10Sport" report, Barca is very close to Sevilla's French centre-back Jules Kounde, although Chelsea is also chasing the French international who asked for 80 million euros, but the player prefers to stay in La Liga and expressed his good feelings for Barca. But Barca also need to settle the money to sign Conde, and they need to deal with the problem before the summer.
Since joining Sevilla in 2019, Comte has gradually become a first-line center-back in La Liga and even Europe, he entered the list of the French team since the Beginning of the European Championship last year, and gradually became the main force of the French team in the European League and the World Preliminary Round, and his value has also risen, and now Sevilla is also very clear that they basically cannot keep Conde.
Conde is not short of suitors, and Chelsea have long seen him as a replacement for Rudiger next season, and Rudiger will leave the team freely after his contract expires this season, so the Blues are very urgent for The introduction of Conde. However, Comte himself is more interested in another team, that is, Barcelona, and they have also extended an olive branch to Conde.
Barca manager Javi is very appreciative of Conde, Comte and the old captain Puyol when Xavi played for Barcelona, Puyol led Barca to win the six titles in 2009, he and Conde are fierce, tall but excellent at bouncing, and the confrontation is also extremely good, Barca president Laporta also believes that Conde is a suitable signing. So Barca are also very active in bringing in Conde, while Conde prefers to stay in la Liga, which he is already familiar with, and his first consideration is Barcelona, not Chelsea.
Conde and Barca are now considered to be "lang has a concubine intention", but the most critical issue still needs to be solved, that is, the transfer fee, Sevilla was originally signed for 25 million euros of real money and silver, and now they can't keep people, and their only request is to leave the team in the form of paying 80 million euros in liquidated damages. This number is really a bit high for Barca, but it is not completely out of the question, as Barca's financial situation now improves, and it is still very promising to get the French international in the summer to clean up a number of redundant personnel.
