- Sevilla’s Jules Kounde is increasingly likely to join Barcelona and snub Chelsea
- The Blues had a £55million bid for the French centre-back accepted last week
- Kounde’s shirt name appeared as available for purchase on Barcelona’s website
- Barcelona have already snatched away Raphinha from Chelsea’s this summer
Barcelona are increasingly likely to snatch Sevilla defender and Chelsea target Jules Kounde, Sportsmail can confirm.
Chelsea had a £55m bid for the Frenchman accepted last week but Barcelona have managed to find sufficient funds to make a counter offer and Kounde is keen on a move to the Nou Camp.
The news comes as a bitter blow to Chelsea who lost out on Leeds winger Raphinha to the Catalan giants earlier this month.
Barcelona are increasingly likely to snatch Jules Kounde away from Chelsea with a late swoop

Boss Xavi looks to have won the race for the Frenchman having already lured away Raphinha
The French star’s shirt name was available for purchase temporarily on Barcelona’s website, hinting that the deal is on the brink of being finalised.
The Spanish club have swiftly deleted the name, eager not to stir any extra speculation ahead of his seemingly imminent signature.
Kounde made no secret of his desire to join Barcelona were the LaLiga giants were able to raise the funds to compete with Chelsea financially.
The 23-year-old centre-back made 32 appearances in the top flight last season as Sevilla finished fourth behind Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid.
Chelsea are expected to make life incredibly difficult for Barcelona in their pursuit of Blues veteran Cesar Azpilicueta, should Todd Boehly miss out on Kounde as he did Raphinha.
The ex-Leeds star hit the ground running under Xavi, scoring the winner for his new team in a 1-0 El Clasico win against Real Madrid on Sunday.
