Barcelona preparing official bid to hijack Jules Koundé deal with Chelsea - reports

One of the biggest rollercoaster stories of the summer transfer window has taken another crazy turn as Barcelona are suddenly preparing an official bid to Sevilla to try and hijack their deal with Chelsea for French center-back Jules Koundé, according to the transfer guru himself, Fabrizio Romano.

As of yesterday Barça had given up on the race for Koundé according to multiple reports from Spain, but the Catalans are seemingly back in the game and haven’t thrown in the proverbial towel just yet.
