Chelsea transfer news LIVE: Kounde AGREES Barcelona deal, Kimpembe and Cristiano Ronaldo talks, Tuchel fumes at squad
THINGS have taken a huge turn for the worse for Chelsea in a matter of days.
Jules Kounde was on the verge of joining the club, but has now reportedly reached a pre-agreement with Barcelona.
That would mean all that is left to be done before the deal goes through is for Barca to agree a fee with Sevilla.
There are also reports that Chelsea have already turned their attention to PSG’s Presnel Kimpembe, given the developments with Kounde over recent days.
And the Blues, Bayern Munich and Atletico Madrid are three of the clubs Jorge Mendes has held talks with as he looks to find a new team for Cristiano Ronaldo.
Meanwhile, Thomas Tuchel has fumed at his side following their 4-0 defeat to Arsenal and added that there are no guarantees Chelsea will be ready for their opening match at Everton in two weeks.
