Chelsea reportedly prepares a transfer bid of around 80 million euros this summer for Barcelona defender Jules Caunde.
Bruce is willing to spend his days at France International. Perhaps he plans to persuade his club to sell and convince players to join.
This adds that, according to a report from Spanish outlet Fichejjes, Barcelona will need to make some kind of sale for economic reasons this summer.
It is still unclear whether Kunde will become the player they decided to cash in, but if he goes to Chelsea for 80 million euros representing Barca’s profits.
Kounde has been a key player on Hansi Flick’s side this season, so perhaps it may not be wise to let him go when there are others they can attract offers.
Jules Kaunde returns to Chelsea agenda
Kounde has previously linked to Chelsea, but it appears that Stamford Bridge decision makers will remain truly enthusiastic about him.
The 26-year-old is an impressive young talent for former club Sevilla, and Barcelona took the opportunity to win the race for his signature.
Still, Kounde could now continue to move again and while Chelsea appears to remain eager to him, Fitcheyes says Arsenal can also see another possible club.
But while Chelsea certainly need Konde more, Enzo Maresca’s side lacks the real quality of central defense, and Konde could be a substantial upgrade of Trevoh Chalobah, Levi Colwill, Benoit Badiashile, and Tosin Adarabioyo.
In contrast, Arsenal already has Gabriel Magalges, William Saliba and Jakubu Kiwior as solid centre-back options, but Ben White, Julien Timber and Riccardo Carafioli can also play there.
