Not really. The fee drops to 43m next summer due to the release clause kicking in. So any bid over that will at least be considered by Leipzig

I'm probably one of the few here who didn't know that. Good info. Thank you.

The same was reported for Nkunku though, which turned out to be false. Not really trusting those reports yet

"Update Kounde: The lawyers of both clubs start to exchange documentation. If everything is correct, it could be announced in the next few hours. 65 million euros will be paid to Sevilla for the French star."

Reporter on Talksport just said this is as close as can be to be done.

By both clubs, they mean Sevilla and Chelsea or Sevilla and Barca?

These Kounde, Raphinha, Azpi, Alonso etc. situations really make me hate Barcelona and the way they choose to conduct their business. And that's even with me being quite happy to let Azpi and Alonso go and not being that bothered about the other two players. I'd happily have taken Raphinha if he wanted to come and same for Kounde but the minute Barcelona get involved these turn into boring never-ending sagas. 

All this 'you should reject all offers till we break some more piggy banks and can finally afford you' stuff really messes up all plans for the other clubs involved and just reeks of Barcelona's rotten, entitled attitude. If they can't afford these players, just fuck off and move on.

Instead of negotiating with the selling clubs directly, they choose to focus on turning the player's head even though it's entirely unclear whether they actually have the finances to pull the transfer off or not. It just causes unnecessary delays for everyone in a crucial time preparing for the new season.

Fuck Barcelona and everything they stand for.

The Worst case scenario right here. Kounde goes to Barca. Alonso, Azpi stay here.

I'd expect a development further by tonight then, if we really are close.

god that guy is bitter

Info from twitter summarized:

reliable journos like Romano: open battle, Kounde would go to both clubs
sources from England and Seville: Chelsea agreed fee with Sevilla and Kounde will be Chelsea player in the next 48 h
sources from Catalonia: Kounde gives priority to Barca and has agreed terms

Doesn't sound like Raphinia story exactly, but Kounde certainly prefers us over Chelsea.
But he is not gonna wait for ever.

My hopes on Allemany to pull the trigger TODAY
