Jules Conde should decide his fate in the next few hours, and Chelsea and Barcelona have already played their tricks in trying to sign one of the most advanced midfielders on the market. Blaugrana was confident that Chelsea would not enter Conde’s final bid, but the impossibility of signing with the (Paris Saint-Germain) and (Paris Saint-Germain) changed their goals to return to the Frenchman from the Andalusian team. Barcelona coach, Xavi Hernandez, has been in contact with the player in the last hours to try to convince him to sign for Barcelona, but everything is more open than ever and his decision may be imminent
Xavi has personally spoken to all the goals this season and his appearance has been key for some players to hold on to signing with the Blaugrana. But there was one attempt where contacts were more consistent and that was Conde, the defender whom the Blaugrana coach loves and who is considered the true defender of the future. That is why the coach intervened in the middle of Chelsea’s negotiation to remind the footballer of how important he is in the new Barcelona and hope that the Frenchman will be able to withstand the pressure, even though Barcelona has nothing to do financially
Chelsea’s money transfer offer is much higher. And not only this. The London club maintains the salary offer it made last summer which exceeds 10 million net net per season. Barcelona, as Sport explained a few weeks ago, knew about these numbers and made it clear to Conde a long time ago that it would be impossible to reach them, not even get close. Despite this, Koundé has always prioritized Blaugrana as his sporting interest has been sharper in the past year
If Conde chooses Chelsea, the process may be closed in the next few hours and the footballer will not even be able to travel to the second stage of the Sevillistas tournament that will be held in Portugal. Should Conde endure the withdrawal, Sevilla will have no choice but to negotiate with Barcelona under other, lesser circumstances than Chelsea’s. The Andalusian club does not want to enter this scenario, even from a distance, and hopes that everything is going on the right path until the Frenchman goes to the Prime Minister
