Calendar of FC Barcelona

Jules Koundé is one of the proper names of this summer. The central French wants to go out of Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán and the Seville, for the first time, will not put fetters so that it change of airs, sieimpre and when it arrive an offer that was attractive for the interests of the club. The FC Barcelona is very attentive to the situation of the player, but economically is a quite difficult operation to assume in the actuality.

Up to now, Chelsea has split like the big competitor of the Barça for the traspaso of the footballer of 23 years, but the plans of the londinenses would have changed since Matthijs of Ligt has 'put' in the market. The 'blues' would have him like big priority to reinforce his defence, that this summer has remained without two key pieces after the exits of Antonio Rüdiger, with destination to the Real Madrid, and Andreas Christensen, the one who save to surprise will turn into player of the Barcelona picture.

In this sense, of agreement to the information of the skilled journalist in the market of signings Fabrizio Romano, Chelsea is very interested in the central of the Juventus and are attentive to the available price that will put him the picture turinés, that will be very high. This has 'displaced' in the list of priorities to Jules Koundé and Nathan Aké, the central that also has asked Thomas Tuchel.

The Barça, by his part, expects to concretise the sale of 10% of the television rights by the next 25 years, that has to produce before 30 June, to be able to concentrate in the market of signings. It will be in this moment when the Barcelona begin to negotiate with the Seville, something that has not produced until the moment. The hispalenses, in any case, are insisting in that the sale has to produce sooner that late, place need to square his sales.

A signing that continues being difficult

Xavi Hernández has asked on purpose the signing of Jules Koundé to reinforce if defence, but in the club are conscious that it will be complicated because the Seville has asked 65 million euros to leave go out to the international with France and has put a series of conditions, as the one of that they do not want payments postponed. The Barça will have to look for the formula to launch to the career by him prompt, before another team advance .
