Chelsea back in for Sevilla’s Jules Kounde after signing Kalidou Koulibaly

TOP STORY: Kounde back on Chelsea’s radar

Chelsea will revive their interest in Sevilla defender Jules Kounde as their pursuit for Manchester City’s Nathan Ake looks to be collapsing, according to the Evening Standard.

Chelsea will re-approach the LaLiga side for Kounde, with the Blues unwilling to match City’s £50 million price tag for the 27-year-old Ake.

As Thomas Tuchel looks to rebuild his side’s defence this summer transfer window following the departures of Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen, Kounde was a backup option for new Chelsea owner Todd Boehly as the side pursued Matthijs de Ligt, Kalidou Koulibaly, and Ake.

After Koulibaly’s arrival in a €40m move from Napoli, Chelsea are now set to fight Barcelona for 23-year-old Kounde, who is reportedly valued at £56m. The Catalan side lead the race for the France international, who made 32 LaLiga appearances for Sevilla last season, after reportedly reaching an agreement on personal terms.
