Barcelona succeeded in signing Kunde, beating Chelsea this time following Hafinha. Now all that remains is to fine-tune the detailed conditions.
[골닷컴] Reporter Park Moon-soo = Barcelona have signed French defender Jules Kunde from Sevilla.
On the morning of the 29th (Korean time), Barcelona announced the agreement to sign Kunde through the club’s official channel.
“Barcelona and Sevilla have agreed in principle to sign Jules Kunde,” the club said. He is expected to sign a transfer contract soon. It is also waiting to pass the medical test.”
According to local media, the contract period is until June 2027. The transfer fee is expected to be 50 million euros (regarding 66.1 billion won) plus an option amount of 10 million euros (regarding 13.2 billion won).
In many ways, Barcelona’s move this summer is unconventional. Although financial difficulties arose, it is in the midst of strengthening its power by showing a more aggressive move. High risk, high return.
Only this summer, he recharged his firepower by signing Hapinha and Lewandowski. He also succeeded in signing a new contract with Dembele, which was not easy.
The next task was to find a new starting center back, and Kunde was selected as the main character. Earlier, Barcelona brought Christensen, who had already signed a contract with Chelsea, as a free agent. Kessie, whose contract with Milan has expired, will also wear a Barcelona jersey for the new season.
In addition, the possibility of Chelsea’s Cesar Aspilicueta and Marcos Alonso joining Barcelona has been raised.
At first, Kunde seemed more likely to go to Chelsea rather than Barcelona. However, Barcelona succeeded in hijacking the Kunde following winning the competition once morest Chelsea.
Chelsea, on the other hand, lost their heads in the competition to sign Kunde following Hafinha, losing to Barcelona. After signing Coulibaly, Chelsea were looking for another centre-back. The player mentioned at this time was Kunde. Rumors were raised that a transfer to Chelsea was imminent, but the situation was twisted when Barcelona joined the fight.
This summer, Chelsea gave up Christensen to Barcelona on a free agent basis, and they also lost to Barcelona in the race to sign Rafinha. This time, even Kunde missed, and the bad relationship with Barcelona continued.
Meanwhile, Kunde is a central defender born in 1998. He is short but has good jumping ability. He has already been at the top of the league in Sevilla and has received love calls from big hands. Although there have been rumors of a transfer to Chelsea since last season, Kunde’s final option was Barcelona.
