Barca are now understood to be focusing their efforts on bringing in defensive reinforcements after completing the attacking signings of Robert Lewandowski and Raphinha, as well as Ousmane Dembele's contract extension, in recent weeks.With Andreas Christensen being the only defender they have brought in so far, the club has been linked with several other backline players, including Spanish duo Cesar Azpilicueta and Marcos Alonso, and Sevilla star Jules Kounde.
It was claimed the Blues are in an advanced position in negotiations compared to the Catalans, who are yet to submit an offer for the player. With the 23-year-old said to have agreed a five-year deal with the west London outfit, it now appears that Laporta has conceded defeat in their race to snatch up the highly-rated France centre-back., Barca's club president was asked if they are going to sign Kounde, to which he replied:"No, he is going to sign for Chelsea."📌Así se lo ha comentado a Esteban Flores, un aficionado que le ha preguntado en el hall del Hotel Palms, al que le ha dicho que se va al Chelsea.
