The 22-year-old was a prime target for Thomas Tuchel over the summer, but he ended up staying in Spain
Sevilla coach Julen Lopetegui says Chelsea failed in their pursuit of Jules Kounde because they failed to meet the Liga outfit's valuation of the France defender.
The European champions were keen to add Kounde to their squad before the deadline, but saw a late bid rebuffed by the Spanish side and did not return with another offer.
Kounde missed last weekend’s La Liga draw at Elche and sparked speculation that a move was imminent, but he ultimately remained in Seville.
