On Friday, we relayed claims made by Marca that Tottenham Hotspur want to ‘propose a more realistic negotiation’ over signing Jules Koundé, and Sevilla are willing to negotiate as long as the fee is convincing.
The defender has an €80m clause in his contract, yet is likely available for less.
Cadena Ser state ‘anything can happen’ in this window due to the economic conditions of the clubs impacted by the global pandemic.
The La Liga side’s planning for this window was designed with the possible sale of the 22-year-old, but that doesn’t necessarily mean he will be sold and there’s a possibility he could continue at Sevilla next season.
Apart from Sevilla receiving a suitable offer, the interested party must also convince the France international, who has the desire to move to an ‘important club’.
Nuno Espírito Santo’s side get a mention and Cadena Ser states that Spurs are ‘very interested’ and are ‘willing to pay’ the fee needed to convince Sevilla to let the player leave this summer.
Tottenham’s option, however, doesn’t seem to convince Koundé as Cadena Ser points out they may not be deemed as an ‘important’ club now.
