REVEALED: Chelsea target Jules Kounde’s dream is to play for another team, not the Blues

Reports have emerged in Spain that Jules Kounde real dream is to feature for another team and not Chelsea despite reportedly agreeing personal terms with the west London club.

According to Spanish football expert Alvaro Montero, the Sevilla defender has a ‘dream’ to play for Real Madrid in the future.

Chelsea are interested in signing the France international from Sevilla this summer, with reports suggesting personal terms have already been agreed.

But that could all be meaningless if Real Madrid come in for Kounde, according to Montero.

He told Sky Sports: “I believe he will wait to play in the Premier League because he’s decided that his dream is to sign for Real Madrid.”

Erling Haaland makes Chelsea summer move more difficult with latest comments as Borussia Dortmund sign new forward

Chelsea have been dealt a potential transfer blow as Erling Haaland hinted he’d like to stay at Borussia Dortmund.

The Blues have made Haaland their top transfer target this summer and are considering a staggering £135million offer, with reports claiming a players-plus-cash offer has been rejected.

However, the star striker remains focused on Dortmund and is looking forward to working with the club’s newest addition Donyell Malen.

Malen arrived from PSV Eindhoven to replace Jadon Sancho, who joined Manchester United following a £73m deal.

The Norway international joked that he will get “mad” at Malen if he doesn’t give him a lot of assists this coming season.

Haaland said: “I told him to give me a lot of assists, otherwise I’ll get mad at him.

“I hope we will play together in the offence. He’s here to make a difference.

“He has to bring a positive energy and deliver from the first minute because BVB is a big club.”

This comes after Haaland admitted he hopes reports linking him with a move to Chelsea are ‘just rumours’.

That is because the 21-year-old believes his €175m [around £150m] asking price is too much for one person.

Another Chelsea youngster set to complete shock move to Bayern Munich

Chelsea teenager Emran Soglo is set to complete a shock move to German giants Bayern Munich.

According to The Sun, the 16-year-old attacking midfielder has spent the last week training with the Bundesliga champions’ Under-17s side.

And after impressing the coaches there, he has now been elevated to the Under-19s as Bayern grow keen to complete the transfer.

Soglo is a versatile midfielder who can play as a No10 or as a deep-lying playmaker.

The creative left-footed youngster can also be deployed on the wing.

Goal are reporting that Bayern are hoping to complete a deal for Soglo in the same way they acquired Jamal Musiala in 2019

Musiala, 18, left Chelsea to join up with the German giants and has thrived since arriving in Munich.

The Stuttgart-born midfielder has made an instant impact in the Bundesliga, playing 37 times and scoring seven goals in the 2020-21 campaign.

Musiala’s steep rise also caught the attention of former German national team coach Joachim Low, who named him in his squad for Euro 2020.

Munich also poached highly-rated centre-half Bright Arrey-Mbi from Chelsea two years ago.

Bayern have recently had a re-shuffle in their scouting network as former chief scout Marco Neppe was promoted to technical director.

Liverpool eye Thomas Tuchel target

Liverpool could be set to make a move for Wolves winger Adama Traore.

According to the Star, Jurgen Klopp and the Reds are keen on bringing in the 25-year-old Spain international and believe a fee of £30million may be enough to secure his services.

Wolves had slapped a £60million asking price on Traore last season but after contributing just two goals and three assists in 37 Premier League appearances last season that price has dropped somewhat.

However Traore has been playing with a dislocated shoulder so a £30million bid is still likely to be rejected by Wolves.

Kurt Zouma touted to replace veteran defence ace at Tottenham

Spurs could look to replace Toby Alderweireld with Kurt Zouma, according to reports.

The Blues centre-back is rumoured to be involved in a player-plus-cash swap deal with Sevilla’s Jules Kounde, but should he not be included in the deal Spurs are ready to make their move.

That’s according to Calciomercato, with Spurs looking for defensive reinforcements following the departure of Toby Alderweireld to Qatari side Al-Duhail.

Cristian Romero of Atalanta had been linked with a move to North London, but with Zouma reportedly available for £25-30million, that fee is a much more attractive one compared to the £50million+ Atalanta are demanding for Romero.
