'Sevilla are still waiting to receive the opening bid for Kounde': Fabrizio Romano

Fabrizio Romano has provided an update on Chelsea's pursuit of Jules Kounde. The Sevilla defender looks likely to move to Stamford Bridge but Chelsea are yet to place a bid.

"Jules Koundé deal, still priority for Chelsea. Tuchel wants him," wrote Romano on Twitter.

"Talks are well advanced on player side, while Sevilla are still waiting to receive the opening bid for the French centre back.

"Price tag will be around €65m, less than €80m release clause."
