Barcelona officially presented centre-back Jules Kounde on Monday, with the French international declaring he was happy to join an ambitious club.
"I'm very happy, very proud. I'm coming to a big club, an ambitious club, and I'm also coming with ambition," the 23-year-old said at his first press conference as a Barcelona player on Monday afternoon at the Catalan club's training centre. According to the Spanish press, Barca paid Sevilla 50 million euros, with 10 million in bonuses, for Kounde who has signed a five-year contract.
Barcelona have indicated that they have bigger priorities than Bernardo Silva in the remaining weeks of the transfer window.
The year is 2020 and Barcelona have turned a Manchester City player's head without having the funds to secure a transfer for him.
Barcelona have beaten Chelsea to the signing of defender Jules Kounde after agreeing a fee of around €55 million with Sevilla, sources told ESPN on Wednesday.
Bayern Munich manager Julian Nagelsmann has questioned how Barcelona have been able to sign top players like Robert Lewandowski given their well-documented financial problems.
When the verdicts come in on how successful Manchester City's transfer window has been, the headline names will be Erling Haaland, Julian Alvarez, and Kalvin Phillips. Marc Cucurella will be added to that list if he signs while Stefan Ortega could also prove an essential addition.
One part of Manchester City's stance on transfers that is routinely forgotten comes down to value. Txiki Begiristain and his recruitment team have red lines that they will not cross when it comes down to what they are prepared to bring targets in for and let them leave for.
