Chelsea in regular contact with Barcelona star's agent

Barcelona will need to make some sales to acquire their desired targets and if that happens, it could be good news for Chelsea, who are said to be interested in signing one of their key players.

Barcelona won the Copa del Rey for the 32nd time on Saturday after defeating Real Madrid 3-2 after extra time.

It was Jules Kounde who scored the winning goal for the Blaugranas in the 116th minute and in the process, he has further increased his value among the club's directors and fans.


But in the midst of this, there is a possibility that Kounde could leave Barcelona, ​​three years after joining them from Sevilla.

This is as Chelsea continue to work behind the scenes ahead of a possible move for the French international.

According to a report from TBR FootballChelsea have reportedly been in regular contact with Kounde's representatives over the past few years.

The Premier League club tried to sign him in the summer of 2022 but he chose Barcelona and their interest has hardly waned since then.

Chelsea are not the only English club reportedly considering a move for Koundes, with Champions League semi-finalists Arsenal also keen on him.

It has been reported that they would be willing to spend €65m to bring him to London and it would not be a surprise if Chelsea took a similar stance.Telegraph/
