Monchi seems to confirm Kounde Sevilla exit with Barcelona closing
Sevilla sporting director Monchi has seemingly confirmed Jules Kounde's impending sale to Barcelona, saying the club 'feels good' despite big departures.
The LaLiga outfit have already sold Diego Carlos to Premier League side Aston Villa for £26m and Koundé is set to follow his former defensive partner on a move away from Andalucia.
Kounde has also been highly touted for a move to Chelsea, but Barca are believed to have arrived late to land the centre-back - and Monchi appears to have confirmed the France international's departure.
"When the two best players leave a team, the challenge of replacing them is not easy, but we feel good about it," he told the Daily Mail.
"We really trust [Julen] Lopetegui, our coach, because we sell players, but we are sure that the players we sign will be better."
