Sevilla reduce asking price for Manchester United target

Sevilla have lowered their asking price for defender Jules Kounde, according to the Sun.

Kounde joined Sevilla from Bordeaux in the summer transfer window of 2019 for an estimated €25 million. Since then, he has become an important part of their side, earning a place in the 2019/20 Europa League Squad of the Season as his side lifted the trophy.

This form has attracted the attention of some of England’s biggest clubs. Manchester City tried to sign the 22-year-old last summer, but instead opted for Benfica man Ruben Dias.

Meanwhile, bitter rivals Manchester United have been known admirers of the Frenchman, and are expected to challenge for his signature ahead of next season.
