Jules Kounde is reportedly ready to remain at Sevilla for another season, despite links with Real Madrid and Manchester United.
The 22-year-old played a starring role in the 2020-21 campaign as Sevilla qualified for the Champions League, and he earned a place in Didier Deschamps's France squad for Euro 2020.
Kounde has unsurprisingly been linked with other top European clubs in Man United and Real Madrid following his strong season, while Arsenal have also been credited with an interest in recent weeks.
However, AS reports that Kounde is looking likely to remain at Sevilla for at least another 12 months, with the La Liga outfit prepared to play hardball when it comes to a fee.
The report adds that Chelsea and Manchester City are also keeping a close eye on developments, and the latter tabled a €55m (£47.2m) bid last summer, but Sevilla would demand more than that to sell him this time around.
Kounde has already won one Europa League crown with Sevilla since arriving from Bordeaux in 2019, and he remains contracted to the Spanish giants for another three years.
