Jules Koundé was one of the big disclosures of LaLiga the past season. The central, that began to the shadow of Diego Carlos, his mate of saga in the Seville, finished being the leader of the defence sevillista and in one of the best players of the Spanish championship. His performance so much in Spain as in the Europe League was excellent and called the attention of the best teams of the world.

The Manchester City of Pep Guardiola got obsessed with he and offered almost 60 million euros. But the Andalusians resisted and limited to ask the clause of rescission, that rises to 90 'kilos', to leave go out to the Frenchman. The English desisted and finish fichando to Rubén Dias, of the Benfica, by some 68 millions. With this decision, the hispalenses left clear that this campaign wanted to compete to the maximum and for this could not leave escape to the central.

But if the level of Koundé was excellent the past course, in the start of east is surpassing the expectations. The hierarchy, the intelligence and the tranquility that shows the international Sub-21 by France are worthy of the biggest. To his 21 years, the ex of the Girondins of Burdeos already codea between the best defenders of the world and therefore in Seville want to armour him of face to the next summer, in which they will go back to rain the offers by him.

One of the clubs that has the name of the pointed French in his list of aims is the FC Barcelona, that has suffered recently in his meats as it spends them to him. In the Barça-Seville of does a week, the Parisian gave a defensive exhibition and in exit of balloon in the Camp Nou. His speed, aggressiveness, tranquility and quality to play the ball have enamoured to the culés, that dream with that it was the relief of Gerard Hammered in the centre of the defence.

The Seville will try to armour to Koundé próximamente

Nevertheless, the reality is that to day of today Koundé is an almost impossible dream, since in Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán go to do all the possible for remaining to the central at least until 2022. The idea of the sevillistas is to build a team that can compete for winning LaLiga and the Champions League, and the permanence of the of Paris is basic for this. By this reason, in the weeks to come will begin to negotiate with the player to improve his contractual conditions.

It is evident that the Seville can not pay the wages of Barça, Real Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain or City, that follow to the French, but yes want to offer him one of the highest wages of the staff. The aim is to expand his agreement until 2025 and even try go up some millions his clause, although in this sense are calm, since 90 millions is a figure that very few can pay. It will be necessary to see if the Frenchman is convinced to remain or prefers to force his exit in 2021.
