There has been a lot of noise around the last few days regarding one Chelsea target in particular.
It has been pretty straight-forward with this one for quite some time, but as always is the case with many of these transfer deals, things change and other clubs come in and try to spoil the party.
It looks like that is what Barcelona have been trying to do with Chelsea’s pursuit of Jules Kounde, a player who they have been trying to sign for a year now but could not agree a fee last summer.
Lots of Catalan reports started claiming that Barcelona were advancing for Kounde in the last couple of days, but it appears that Chelsea are still on course to sign him.
A couple of UK media outlets have reported Chelsea are still confident today.
But, as highlighted by Sport Witness, one of the more interesting reports from today came from local Sevilla media, ABC Sevilla.
They believe that Jules Koundé has 'already agreed' to a five-year contract with Chelsea, which includes a wage that is two or three times that of Barcelona. Chelsea must match Sevilla's €60-65 million [£52m-£56m] valuation.
