Chelsea are planning a HUGE bid for Barcelona star Jules Kounde in the summer as Enzo Maresca’s side aim to bolster their defensive options, according to reports from Spain.
The Blues got off to a flying start this season but their form has dipped dramatically and they’ve now dropped to sixth in the Premier League table.
Chelsea haven’t kept a clean sheet in a league game since December – highlighting their need for more solid players at the back.
According to a stunning report from Spanish outlet Sport, Chelsea are preparing to launch a mammoth bid for Barcelona ace Kounde.
The report claims that the Blues are willing to splash an eye-watering €100m (£83m, $105m) on the 40-time capped French international.
Barcelona president Joan Laporta and sporting director Deco, for their part, are said to consider Kounde ‘untouchable.’
However, given the Catalans’ ongoing financial issues, a bid of €100m would no doubt have to be considered if it arrived.
