The Blues are unable to engage in transfer negotiations at the moment, but with Todd Boehly’s group due to be named as Chelsea’s new owners this week, Kounde’s contract might be finalised sooner rather than later.
According to recent sources, Chelsea is expected to finalize Kounde’s transfer if Boehly completes his purchase of the club.
However, In September, Tuchel provided a statement suggesting the club simply didn’t have enough time to negotiate with Kounde before the season began as he remains a top target.
“It was clear we tried for Kounde and Saul and it was very, very late but it was a very, very smooth transfer window because I had full concentration on training and on my team.”
And now, with Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen departing the club, Kounde could finally be given his move to Chelsae – having been pictured in London this week.
A quick deal will no doubt impress Thomas Tuchel, who is keen to rebuild his squad as quickly as possible this summer.
“We have at the moment a huge disadvantage – that’s not decisive yet. There is no need to make excuses now, it is just the situation we are in and we have to be as quick as possible. Right now, of course, it is unsatisfying because our hands are tied and we cannot act as we want,” he said on transfer plans.”
This comes after the German confirmed that he will delay his holiday plans in order to start working on the incoming transfers in the summer.
