This summer, the in-demand defender has been linked to moves to Chelsea and Barcelona.

A £55 million bid for him was approved by Sevilla earlier this week, and the French defender verbally committed to a five-year deal with Chelsea.

However, he has been persuaded to wait for Barcelona, and as a result, he has temporarily shelved plans to join Chelsea.

Speaking on Barcelona’s move for the Sevilla defender, Xavi was quoted by Fabrizio Romano as saying: “We are at work to improve the squad, the board is working on it. I can’t say more [on Koundé].

“If we’ve to announce something, we will do it. Barcelona are more than optimistic.”

After winning the Champions League, Kylian Mbappé is expected to be announced as a new signing by Real Madrid the following week.

In February, the 25-year-old international athlete made his choice. He can now be regarded as a new Real player because every document has been completed, sealed, and signed.

As per media reports, Kylian Mbappé joined Real Madrid from Paris Saint-Germain on a free transfer. “.. I wanted to announce to you all that it’s my last year at Paris Saint-Germain. I will not extend and the adventure will come to an end in a few weeks. I will play my last game as Parc des Princes on Sunday,” Mbappe said in a video statement on X.

“It’s a lot of emotions. (For) many years I had the chance and great honour to be a member of the biggest French club, one of the best in the world which allowed me to travel here,” Mbappe added.

“It’s hard and I never thought it would be this difficult to announce that I will leave the country, France, the league and the Championship. But I think, I needed this, a new challenge after seven years.”
