The defender, wanted in Barcelona, displayed his face from Spanish coach Xavi Hernandez, by opening the door to move to play for another team, during the current summer Mercato.
And according to what was published by the Italian network Gianluca Di Marzio, today, the possibility of losing the French defender, Jules Conde, the center of the defense of the Spanish team Seville, from the hands of Xavi next season.
Conde is one of coach Xavi Hernandez’s priorities, to strengthen Barca’s defenses during the next season, after his decision after relying on Gerard Pique, according to Spanish reports.
Barcelona’s problem with not including Conde so far, is not in the high cost of the deal, but in the competition for the player from English clubs, most notably Chelsea.
Chelsea can offer more than 70 million euros to Seville, in addition to a large salary for the player, to support the Blues’ defenses during the next season, especially after the departure of German defender Antonio Rudiger to Real Madrid from the London team at the end of last season.
Xavi places Conde’s arrival among his priorities in the summer Mercato, to strengthen the back line of the Catalan team during the next season, but it seems that the player may not join the Blaugrana.
The Italian network indicated that Chelsea’s entry into the deal spoiled it for Xavi and the Barca men even more, as the London club puts it as a priority in the summer Mercato, armed with the money of the new owners.
And the Italian network said, for his part, that Conde does not mind the idea of moving to play in the English Premier League from the gate of the Stamford Bridge team, which can be considered a strong blow to Xavi’s contractual plans at the present time.
