The French centre-back is Xavi's top target but the Blues are getting involved

Chelsea have made a 55 million euro offer to Sevilla for Jules Kounde, Relevo report. 

The same source says the offer is not enough for the Andalusians, who want at least 60m euros, although the two sides will keep negotiating.

Relevo say Sevilla are expecting the Catalans to join the fight, especially as that’s where Kounde wants to go.

The Blaugrana are waiting to activate their second lever in the coming days to take on the Kounde deal and give Xavi what he wants.

Jorge Mendes has started to get involved in the deal and proposed moving Nico or Abde there to cheapen the deal. 

Sevilla need the money to be able to reinforce their squad this summer.
