Newcastle ready to hijack €90 million deal for Chelsea top target
According to Mundo Deportivo, Newcastle United is hoping to beat Barcelona and Chelsea to one of their top transfer targets this summer. This year, the Magpies have grown into a powerful financial force, and they will be determined to use their newfound riches to compete with Europe’s premier clubs.
This summer, Barcelona and Chelsea are interested in signing Sevilla defender Jules Kounde. The French centre-back has emerged as one of La Liga’s most promising prospects, with a move to some of the greatest clubs in the top five leagues being discussed.
Kounde is currently one of Sevilla’s finest players, and the Andalusian club will demand a large transfer fee. Chelsea are the frontrunners in the race to recruit the defender, but a resurgent Newcastle United side could overtake them.
Barcelona has showed interest in Jules Kounde’s signing as well, but they must first resolve a number of financial concerns. The centre-back is one of European football’s brightest prospects, with several years ahead of him as a world-class defender.
