Barely opened, the Jules Koundé track is already closing for Chelsea. According to information from Sportthe Blues have reportedly already abandoned the idea of bringing in the French defender during the next winter transfer window. For good reason, the former Girondins de Bordeaux player already does not want to leave FC Barcelona, and even less so this winter.
Despite the early failure of the Koundé case, Chelsea will continue its quest for a new right-back. Michael Kayode, the Fiorentina defender, would also be Enzo Maresca’s new priority for the position. The recruitment of the Italian could be a less expensive and simpler operation to carry out, in addition to being a choice solution to replace Reece James, still injured. To afford the services of the talented 20-year-old full-back, Chelsea could pay around twenty million euros.
