Thomas Tuchel, manager of Chelsea, He presses to have Jules Koundé as soon as possible and for the French defender to start taking the automatisms of his system. The English team has everything agreed with Jules and from Sevilla they believe that there will be no problem reaching an agreement this time, estimated between 60 and 65 million euros. In Nervión they will close at least one plant before getting rid of another, after the sale of Diego Carlos… And the operation too depends on the future of Marina Granovskaia, Abramovich’s right hand that his continuity with the new owner of the club is not assured.
Once Marina’s future is resolved, Chelsea will begin to close operations after the British Government approved the sale to North American tycoon Todd Boehly. The still director of operations of the London club has been considered the most powerful woman in the world of football since she started working at Stamford Bridge more than a decade ago. Granovskaia has decided on the purchase and sale of footballers worth more than 1,500 million euros.
So Koundé, who was ruled out of France’s match against Croatia by physical problems, is still waiting. The footballer, who will turn 24 next November, is according to Olocip’s Artificial Intelligence, the third central defender with the most impact in LaLiga, with a value of 11.62, figure that also makes him the best player in Sevilla last season.
His performance per 90′ exceeded what he had offered during 2020-21, with which Chelsea will take a footballer who has grown. In this 2021-22, Koundé has generated an impact of 0.36 per game. Despite the fact that he is called something ‘short’, since he barely reaches 1.80, Jules is the footballer of all LaLiga with the most impact in aerial defensive duels.
