Barcelona want to sign France defender Jules Kounde, but do not want to pay Sevilla's 60m euros asking price for the 23-year-old.

Sevilla are ready to bid £6.9m for Rangers and Colombia forward Alfredo Morelos, 25.

Chelsea are interested in Juventus's Dutch defender Matthijs de Ligt, 22, but Blues boss Thomas Tuchel's main defensive target is still 23-year-old Sevilla and France centre-back Jules Kounde.

La Liga side Sevilla are considering joining the race to sign Spurs and England midfielder Harry Winks. Fulham and Everton have also been touted as possible destinations.

Chelsea are hopeful that a bid in the region of £42 million with the possibility of add-ons will be enough to land Sevilla defender Jules Kounde.
