Barcelona confirmed another bombastic signing for the season and also completed their ‘hat’ at Chelsea; check out who made it to the club!
O barcelonaclosed a bombastic contract and confirmed the ‘hat’ in the Chelsea. This Thursday, the 28th, the club announced that it had reached a principle of agreement with the seville by hiring Jules Koundé. The Frenchman aroused the interest of the Blues, but he always made it clear that his priority was to defend the colors of the Catalan team.
To make this bombastic signing, Barcelona paid around 50 million euros and added some clauses that could make the deal reach 60 million euros. With that, the proposal would cover what was offered by Chelsea, which arrived in the amount of 55 million euros. However, Koundé did not want to know about playing in England and prioritized Barça.
The defender even appeared in some of Barcelona’s social media posts and made fans even more excited for the sequel to the 2022/23 season. It is worth noting that Barça intends to win important competitions and, therefore, bombastic signings like this are being made at the beginning of the transfer window.
Thus, with the arrival of Koundé, Barcelona completed another ‘hat’ on Chelsea. The team managed to take Christensen out of the English, closed with Lewandowski and even took the opportunity to close the deal with the French defender. Azpilicueta remains in Barça’s sights and could be another to say “no” to the Blues and reinforce Xavi’s squad for the 2022/23 season.
It is worth noting that, at the age of 23, Koundé was one of the main names in Sevilla and also in the French national team. In fact, he is one of the country’s biggest hopes for the World Cup and has attracted the attention of several European giants. Thus, the dispute between Barcelona and Chelsea continued for some long days, but ended with another victory of the culés against the English rivals.
