Acclaimed transfer guru Fabrizio Romano reported that Barcelona had reached an agreement with Sevilla for Kounde with the three magic words…”here we go”.

Words usually mean that the transfer is all but done even if there hasn’t been an official confirmation from the parties involved.

Sevilla and Chelsea had previously agreed a transfer fee but it was reported the player preferred Barcelona and waited for them.

Now that Barcelona have been able to strike an accord with fellow La Liga club, Sevilla the deal is all but done pending official confirmation as personal terms with Kounde was never a problem.

His absence from the Sevilla squad validates that report as he is now said to be enroute Barcelona to undergo a medical before he can officially sign for the club of his dreams and be presented.

Everything is projected to be done in the next few hours, between today dn tomorrow for Jules Kounde to officially be a Barcelona player.
