Sevilla are reportedly willing to sell Jules Kounde - linked with Chelsea and Manchester United - for between £42.5m and £51m, according to a report.

Sevilla are reportedly willing to sell Jules Kounde for between €50m (£42.5m) and €60m (£51m) amid suggestions that Chelsea and Manchester United are keen on signing the centre-back.

Chelsea and Man United were both linked with the Frenchman over the summer, but the transfer window closed with the defender still at Estadio Ramon.

A recent report claimed that the two Premier League clubs are still keen on the 23-year-old, who is allegedly keen to secure a move away from Julen Lopetegui's side next year.

According to ESPN, Sevilla had refused to sell Kounde for less than his €80m (£68.8m) release clause over the summer but are now willing to agree to a deal of between €50m (£42.5m) and €60m (£51m).

The report suggests that Chelsea are the favourites for the Frenchman, and a move could potentially be completed during the January transfer window.

Kounde has again been an important player for Sevilla during the 2021-22 campaign, making 20 appearances in all competitions, including 14 outings in La Liga.
