Reading the different reports, Chelsea are going to splash a ton on Lukaku. They want Kounde but Sevilla don't value Zouma at the same amount that Chelsea do. Chelsea wants to sell Zouma to West Ham- why would they not just take that money and make up the difference in fee with Sevilla? Rather than money + swap, they have more money to put forward in a cash only deal?
Because that money is way less than the ridiculous value Chelsea put in him when they tried to con Sevilla. West Ham won't even pay the lower figure so now Sevilla have confirmation that Chelsea were working a flanker on them.

Was That Seat Hot Or What? I Feel Like A Whopper. Turn Me Over, I'm Done On This Side.

She don’t mind. She’s short and skinny – but she’s strong. Her first baby: it come out sideways.

- You know what would make me happy?
- Another couple balls and an extra set of fingers?

And wasn´t it six dollars and a left nut?

They have done an excellent job of getting big fees for players that they want to sell. If he doesnt want to go to West Ham, they'll find a taker and that 25m-30m euros will go towards Kounde.
I suspect you're right, but if he only wants to stay in England and wants a better option than West Ham, he's not exactly drowning in options.

I suppose he could go back to Everton where he was previously on loan, but they're looking worse than WH at the moment. Villa have the Grealish money but also have a settled pair of CBs. Leicester are pretty stacked at the back, while Arsenal just bought White. Beyond that I can't think of any clubs that might want him and could also afford him.

He only has a year left on his contract. Loaning him would leave us out of pocket unless there was a loan fee

I cant see celtic paying £5 mill as quoted above that would put him in their top 10 record signings for a man with no real substanial first team background except for lower league teams.

Putitng my tinfoil hat on - I wonder if both us and Seville want the Kounde/Sanchez swap as it's a better deal all round for everyone (except Kounde lol). They pay less sell-on clause, less tax because of what a buyout clause requires, and get a player they want.

They continue to frustrate Chelsea, who look elsewhere. As I was typing, Sule is available for 30m, according to SportsBild.

I think this is exactly the situation and as it stands not one CL club is in for Kounde.
