Catalan daily Mundo Deportivo said the two clubs had reached “agreement in principle” over a transfer worth 50 million euros, including an additional 10 million bonuses.
French midfielder Jules Kounde will join Barcelona
Sport published a front-page photo of the defender titled “Kounde 2027”, while Marca reported that Sevilla and Barcelona had completed a deal on July 27 and were just waiting for it to be officially announced.
With the above developments, negotiations between Chelsea and Sevilla regarding Kounde have failed, but the Spanish media emphasized the important role of Barcelona coach Xavi Hernandez in bringing Kounde to the Nou Camp.
