Sevilla FC want Monaco’s Badiashile to replace Koundé

Chelsea focus on Kimbempe?

The departure of centre-back Jules Koundé seems imminent at Sevilla FC. According to unanimous reports, FC Barcelona is emerging as the target after Chelsea FC is said to have failed with a short-term offer to the player. While jerseys with a Koundé print briefly appeared in the Barça online shop at the beginning of the week, the “Sevillistas” are working on a successor solution and are the “L’Equipe“ According to Monaco, I found what I was looking for. According to this, the transfer target of coach Julen Lopetegui and sporting director Monchi is Benoît Badiashile – with a view to the rotating center-back carousel, however, Seville is not the only interested party from the top European leagues.

The 21-year-old homegrown player from the Principality has also been on the list for the Blues and Manchester United for some time, while the Catalans considered Badiashile an alternative to Koundé. The approaching transfer of the eleven-time French national player, as well as the move from Leipzig’s Nordi Mukiele to Paris Saint-Germain, should cause movement on the market. AS Monaco, which has already generated 67.5 million euros through player departures and is financially well positioned, can be relatively relaxed about the emerging poker situation around Badiashile. Sports director Paul Mitchell wants to call for at least 50 million euros for his protégé, whose contract runs until 2024. Only once has a club paid more money for a central defender in his age group – FC Bayern Munich for Matthijs de Ligt (overview).

Monchi and the “Nervionses” are said to have made an initial offer for Badiashile and in this context also made the proposal to offset attacker Youssef En-Nesyri (contract until 2025) as part of the deal and hand it over to Monaco. However, the club from the Principality refrain from similar thought games after the commitment of Mönchengladbach’s Breel Embolo, writes the French sports newspaper.

After the rejection of the rumored 65 million offer for Koundé, Chelsea could meanwhile fully focus on Presnel Kimpembe from Paris Saint-Germain, writes the “Times“. The 26-year-old, whose contract at the Seine runs until 2024, had also been linked with Juventus in recent weeks, where he was being tipped as a potential De Ligt replacement. PSG strengthens the defense with Leipzig’s Mukiele, the completion report is expected shortly. A short-term solution is also in sight for Koundé, according to the latest reports from the transfer expert Fabrizio Romano do not amount to the initially assumed 50 million euros plus 10 million euros in bonuses, but are “slightly below”.
