Sevilla Kounde prefers Barcelona offer despite Chelsea interest

Jules Kounde prioritises Barcelona's offer despite interest from Chelsea, reports Mundo Deportivo's Fernando Polo.

The Frenchman is also Xavi's favourite for the centre-back position.

Barca's reported plan is to offer Sevilla a 'cash-plus-player' deal. Kounde's price tag is said to stand at around €60m.

The 23-year-old has been an important squad member for both Sevilla and France's national team. Kounde could also play at right-back if needed.
