After signing Christensen, Lewandowski, Kessie, Raphinha, target number one is a player for the defence, that is what FC Barcelona want and need.
“We have been speaking in the last few days about Pau Torres, Inigo Martinez and Cesar Azpilicueta, but if you ask me, I would say Jules Kounde is target No 1 for sure.
“After that, two days ago the player refused to go with Sevilla to the south of Portugal because he wanted to wait, but after that, he decided to go and prepare with his team-mates.
“It is said and it is true that there was an agreement between Sevilla and Chelsea for around 75 million euros, but inside FC Barcelona they think the player wants to play for them and it is said in Barcelona that the player is waiting.
“So on Friday morning, 24 hours ago, this situation was quite tricky for FC Barcelona as they thought the player would not be able to absorb this pressure and he was going to sign for Chelsea.
“But now, in the last few hours, it is even closer than before and now I would say he is closer to signing for FC Barcelona than he is for Chelsea, but it is going to depend on the agreement between the club and the player.
“But inside FC Barcelona, they believe Jules Kounde wants to play for them.”
