Barcelona defender, Jules Kounde, has revealed he spoke to
former Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel, as transfer speculation rumbled on in the
summer.
Kounde eventually moved to the Nou Camp in a £56million
deal.
The 23-year-old has told L’Equipe: “First, I come to a huge
club, which has known good times and which, lately, has had less.
“I come to a project that I would not call reconstruction
because we already have a competitive team, but rather, being upturned. I was
interested in being part of this new wave, in search of titles, and to put
Barca back where it has always been, among the best clubs.
“Then there was the conversation with the coach. We talked
about football, mainly. I felt a real confidence from him, that he had a real
knowledge of myself, my game and my qualities. I spoke with Tuchel and I also
felt that he wanted me to come but I simply preferred Xavi’s speech.”
