Sevilla have made it clear to Chelsea that they should hasten their approach for Jules Kounde if they were still keen on landing the Frenchman this summer.
Reports from football.london claim that Thomas Tuchel’s camp have been handed a transfer ultimatum for the 22-year-old Kounde who remains a key target for the Chelsea boss in the ongoing transfer window.
Tuchel is believed to be keeping close tabs on Sevilla man whose potential arrival at Stamford Bridge this summer would significantly bolster the current options at the back for the Blues.
The recent stalling in talks between the two clubs is believed to be due to the concerns on the pricing front for Chelsea with Sevilla insisting on a £68 million payout for parting ways with the highly-promising defensive talent and the La Liga outfit are also not keen on letting Kounde leave late on this summer.
Sevilla will be in the market for a replacement for their first-team regular should Chelsea extend a formal offer for the player soon which explains the ultimatum given to Thomas Tuchel’s side for signing Kounde.
