Chelsea alerted as Barcelona plan Kounde sale

Spanish giants Barcelona are ready to sell one or two of their first team stars this summer.

The Catalan club will listen to offers for defender Jules Kounde from teams outside Spain.

Per Mundo Deportivo, the Frenchman may be on the outs due to the club's financial situation.

Kounde has not enjoyed the best of seasons, while he has to compete with Ronald Araujo, Inigo Martinez, Pau Cubarsi and Andreas Christensen for a centre back spot.

While he is known for his versatility, Barca prefer to use him at right-back, while he wants to play in the center.

Kounde is being linked to the likes of Chelsea, who attempted to sign him two years ago when he moved to Barcelona.
