Jules Koundé To Chelsea: What We Know
Barcelona are open to hearing offers for defender Jules Koundé, though a sale is not a priority, while Chelsea remain committed to keeping Estevão Willian long-term.
Jules Koundé, 27, joined FC Barcelona in July 2022 for approximately £42 million. While he is not currently listed for transfer, reports indicate that the club would consider major offers in the region of €65 million to facilitate squad registrations and financial planning. His current deal runs until June 2030.
Separately, Chelsea have internally classified Estevão Willian, 19, as an untouchable asset. Despite speculation regarding his limited minutes this season, the club is not entertaining any permanent offers and remains focused on his long-term development under Xabi Alonso. He is under contract until June 2033, granting the club complete control over his future.
Chelsea’s interest in AS Monaco midfielder Lamine Camara is reportedly being re-evaluated for a potential January move, following a failed deadline-day deal last summer. Meanwhile, Liverpool are noted to be in contact with the representatives of Aurélien Tchouaméni, monitoring a potential future transfer.
