Jules Kounde did not travel to Lisbon with Sevilla

Sevilla headed to Lisbon today to play against Sporting Club, where former Barcelona winger Trincao is currently playing. However they did not count on the presence of Jules Kounde for their trip, who stayed in their hotel in Lagos. The French centre-back was not able to play because he is recovering from his operation on his pubis, but he also prefers not to play in this moment to avoid noise, given his future is on the line. Koundé is waiting to hear if Barcelona and Sevilla can reach a deal for him to move to the Catalan giants.

The defender has a deal with Barcelona for the next four seasons, as Sport reported today. Kounde decided not to speak publicly about it and he is only communicating through social media. "To dream without goals is just dreams and is the fuel for disappointment. On the way to achieving your dreams you should apply discipline but above all perseverance,” he wrote on Instagram.
