Manchester United are keeping tabs on the situation of Jules Kounde as Sevilla already have a transfer replacement in mind for the centre-back, according to a report.
The Red Devils are on the lookout for new additions, especially following the arrival of new interim boss Ralf Rangnick.
Previous reports have revealed how France international Kounde is a player on their radar. Chelsea also had interest in him in the summer and he has since revealed his regret at missing out on a transfer there.
According to the latest from Super Deporte, though, United are ‘well placed’ to make a bid for Kounde.
Sevilla are aware that the interest in their star player has not gone away. As such, manager Julen Lopetegui and transfer chief Monchi have made arrangements to sign Barcelona’s Clement Lenglet.
Kounde’s fellow Frenchman has proved a key player for Barca, making 142 appearances since his move. Now, though, he has fallen down head coach Xavi’s pecking order and could leave
Xavi wants to sign Manchester City forward Ferran Torres but will need to sell before he can buy. As such, Sevilla are looking to pounce and bring the defender back to Seville.
If they do so, that will push Kounde closer to an exit and Super Deporte reports that United are lying in wait to make a move for him
The 23-year-old’s impressive performances saw him rewarded with his introduction to the senior France team this summer. He consequently appeared at Euro 2020.
