Is not expected in Barcelona transfer Chelsea interest.
Chelsea will be at the Defensive Standard market before the next season, since Benoit Badiail and Tosin Adarabioyo are not cut out as a starter at the highest level. The blues also had persistent right -back, with Reece James even working in midfield in the past few weeks.
Candy versatility to play both centrally – where he played for the former Club Sevilla – and on the right side has made it an attractive option for the goal.
But Marca has reported that the France international has so far encouraged the Barcelona officials in early attempts to measure his willingness to extend his contract beyond his current process in 2027.
Counde “wants to stay” and “has no intention of leaving Barcelona”. The 26-year-old has to miss a game in a competition this season and started most of his 45 appearances.
He should feel “important” for Hansi Flick and is seen as a “great fit” in the changing room. All this motivates to sign a new contract for the early conversations with Deco and the sports department.
Kound’s situation feels very different from that of the vice captain Ronald Araujo. The Uruguay national player recently signed a new Barcelona contract, but he has been trying to master a regular place since his recovery of long-term injuries, and an affordable release clause makes a summer outcome extremely plausible if a club is willing to trigger the fee of EUR 65 million.
Chelsea was not really associated with Araujo, although it feels like it could be a suitable option if you consider it a good fit and of sufficient quality to meet your ambitions.
