Thomas Tuchel is confronting the possibility of redesiging his defense as Antonio Rudiger, Andreas Christensen and Cesar Azpilicueta are completely out of contract agreement and toward the end of their stay at Chelsea FC and are no nearer to making extensions.
Yet again with Thiago Silva also turning 38 this year, Chelsea will have to get protective fortifications and Kounde has arisen as a major objective after practically moving to Stamford Bridge the previous summer.
It seems as though the Blues have now restored their advantage as TeamTalk are refering to a report from Tuttomercatoweb that claims Chelsea are in consultation with Sevilla about an arrangement to sign Kounde toward the end of the season.
The Italian outlet says Chelsea chief Marina Granovskaia has arranged a deal worth £46m [€55m] up front and center in addition to £4m [€5m] in rewards meaning the whole arrangement would be worth £50m [€60m] to the La Liga side.
It appears to be that his true defensive capacity has grabbed the eye of Chelsea bosses and an arrangement is presently ready to go for Kounde to move to Stamford Bridge toward the end of the season.
We'll need to keep a watch out how things grow yet with any improvement of Azpilicueta, Rudiger and Christensen all tipped to leave throughout the next few months, Chelsea need several center backs and Kounde ought to end up being an astounding improvement to Tuchel's crew assuming that the Blues can get this proposed bargain over the line.
