Real Madrid discard move for costly Jules Kounde

The French defender is a fine prospect but costs too much to afford

Real Madrid have a lot of work to do in the transfer window. They have signed David Alaba but might need another centre-back with Sergio Ramos leaving the club after 16 years there. There is also the chance that Raphael Varane could also leave this summer with just a year left on his deal.

One of the targets was said to be Sevilla’s Jules Kounde. He has thrived at Sevilla and is one of the most promising defenders in Europe.

However on El Chriinguito Josep Pedrerol says Real Madrid will not be signing Kounde. Sevilla want 80 million for the centre back and Madrid cannot pay that much money.
