Barcelona value Jules Kounde at €80 million following Chelsea's request. The Londoners will pursue the Frenchman if Malo Gusto departs for Man City.

Barcelona have set a firm price of €80 million for their 27-year-old French defender Jules Kounde.

According to reports from El Nacional, Chelsea have submitted an official inquiry regarding the availability of the World Cup runner-up.

The Blues are seriously weighing up a move for Kounde, should their right-back Malo Gusto complete a transfer to Manchester City.

Meanwhile, Barcelona’s stance remains ironclad: the hierarchy are unwilling to budge on their valuation and will only part ways with the key defensive player for the full €80 million.
