Barcelona ‘agree’ Chelsea transfer hijack after missing out due to “having no money”

BarcelonaÂ are reportedly poised to hijack Chelsea’s Â£55million move for Jules Kounde – just days after it was claimed they missed out on a deal forÂ Kalidou KoulibalyÂ becauseÂ they had “no money”.

The Catalan giantsÂ were pipped to a deal for Koulibaly, who became the Blues’ second summer capture in a Â£33m switch earlier this month.Â ChelseaÂ always appeared to be in pole position to land the coveted defender, with Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis claiming that he had told Koulibaly that he couldn’t let him joinÂ BarcelonaÂ as they had “no money”.

But theÂ La LigaÂ outfit are set to go head-to-had against Chelsea again in the race for Kounde, who looks set to finally leave Sevilla this summer.

According toÂ SPORT,Â Barcelona have ‘agreed terms’ on a four-year deal with Kounde, who had seemingly been on the verge of a move to Stamford Bridge. The Blues failed in an attempt to bring the 23-year-old to theÂ Premier LeagueÂ last year but rekindled their interest after losing the services ofÂ Antonio RudigerÂ and Andreas Christensen.

The report goes on to outline that Barcelona’s bid will fall short of the Â£55m package that Chelsea have tabled for Chelsea but the Spanish giants intend to pay the entire sum up front and believe that Sevilla will ‘accept the terms’ of their offer.Kounde’s arrival would be the latest big-money deal that Barcelona have pulled off this summer despite concerns o. The Spanish giants have been busy in the transfer market, with Raphinha andÂ Robert LewandowskiÂ arriving for a combined sum of around Â£90m. Christensen and Franck Kessie have also moved to the Nou Camp on free transfers.
