Sevilla awaits Koundé for the concentration in Portugal

The SevilleAfter the last friendly match in which he beat Las Palmas, he leaves this Friday for Portugal, where Julen Lopetegui's team will carry out the last pre-season concentration, once the 'stage' has been completed in the Alicante town of Algorfa .

For this new concentration, in the Algarve, specifically in the town of Lagos, the Sevilla club awaits the return of Jules
Kooundé, a star player in the market and who is awaiting his future by becoming the soap opera of the summer due to the interest of the big clubs in his hiring. The Frenchman, who played the European Championship with Didier Deschamps' team, has publicly shown his intention to jump-start a “bigger” club in his career, but the truth is that few entities can face an operation as desired Sevilla, which already rejected an offer of 55 million euros last summer.

Sevilla will not agree to part with Koundé for less than 70 million (his termination clause is 80) and more if he finally receives liquidity with the transfer of Bryan Gil to Tottenham, which will be estimated at 25 million plus the pass of Erik Lamela. Clubs such as Manchester United or Chelsea, as well as Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​have tried their signing, as have others that withdrew from the bid such as West Ham and Tottenham, but it will not be easy for them to reach the figures that the club wants. Sevilla and the player begins to get used to the idea that he will continue one more year at Sánchez Pizjuán.

The squad exercises this Friday in the sports city and in the afternoon they travel to Portugal, where they will stay for a few days and where Lopetegui's team will have the toughest test of the summer in a friendly against Paris Saint-Germain on the 27th.
