CHELSEA have officially lost the race to sign France international Jules Kounde courtesy of Barcelona.
The Blues were heavily linked with Koundé until Barca eyed them again.
Meanwhile, sources in Spain now suggest Cristiano Ronaldo’s signing was ready to be announced before Thomas Tuchel vetoed it.
Another man reportedly signed for Chelsea is Leicester’s Wesley Fofana, but the Blues are yet to convince the Foxes to sell the French star.
