Joan Laporta promised more signings in summer and, after the signature of Robert Lewandowski, Jules Koundé turns into the following aim of the club. The Wednesday, the president blaugrana was consulted by a fan on the possibility of fichar to the French. "It will come Koundé?", it asked the fanatical, in front of which Laporta answered with a smile: "it would like You?".

While the club especula with the possibility to present an offer by Koundé, Chelsea follows suit and already would have reached an agreement with the Seville by 65 million euros, quantity impagable to these heights for the Barça. In fact, the club depends of the success of a second 'crowbar' financial for fichar, at least, to another player in this market: 15% of the television rights of LaLiga, an operation that would leave near of 400 million euros in the arks culés.

This negotiation also could close this Thursday, while Laporta continues accompanying to the team in Miami. The agreement would close with Sixth Street, American signature with which already closed the sale of 10% of these rights of commercialisation. With this, the club could inscribe to Franck Kessié and Andreas Christensen, in addition to closing the traspasos of Raphinha and Lewandowski.

In total, the group investor will credit more than 600 million euros to the Barça if it concretises this second operation. While this sucede, the president culé took advantage of to share with the fanatical of the club in the beaches of Fort Lauderdale. The club will travel the weekend to The Vegas to confront to the Real Madrid in which it will be the second edition of the Classical in United States next Saturday. For then, the future of Koundé already can have clear-cut.

The Barça trusts to convince to Koundé

For the moment, the player of 23 years keeps in silence while it trains with the Seville. For the central, the option to leave to England is not his predilecta, but is conscious that, economically, the proposal 'blue' is much solider. Thus, the Barcelona will have to present in brief an offer by the French to emulate it sucedido with Raphinha. Again, Chelsea could lose a bidding in front of the Catalans. The decision is in hands of the defender.
