BREAKING: Kounde latest transfer decision shocked everyone
Jules Kounde, a defender for Sevilla, was not invited to the team’s preseason training camp in Portugal while Chelsea continues to negotiate for the defender’s transfer to Sevilla.
The 23-year-old did not travel to Portugal with his colleagues because the Blues had made an upgraded bid of £55 million for him.
Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano had claimed: “Official. Jules Koundé has been left out of Sevilla’s squad for upcoming pre-season friendly in Portugal, as negotiations are still ongoing.
“It was already decided internally, as Sevilla are in talks to sell Koundé this week.”
Kounde shocked everyone at his club when he ended up catching the bus to Portugal, as they’d camp in the southern city of Lagos.
Sevilla are heading to Portugal as part of their preparations for the new La Liga campaign.
Now, According to The Sun, Kounde says he considers it ‘unprofessional’ to stay in Spain and train alone while he remains a Sevilla player.
A club insider said: “It is still highly likely he will join Chelsea. Everybody was stunned when Kounde turned up for the bus to Lagos.
“But he feels he should be a ‘professional’ while still a Sevilla player.”
So far, Barcelona are yet to table a bid for Kounde.
