NEWS REPORT: Chelsea’s Kounde transfer boost as Barcelona PULL OUT, Rabiot and Militao LATEST, Richarlison ‘£50m bid prepared’.

 CHELSEA look set to rival Manchester United for Juventus midfielder Adrien Rabiot, according to reports.

Elsewhere, the Blues have been handed a mega boost in their pursuit of Jules Kounde, with Barcelona said to have pulled out of the race to sign the Frenchman.

The Catalans are said to be unable to afford Sevilla's £65m asking price, particularly as they are looking to sign two-time Fifa Best Award winner Robert Lewandowski.

And Chelsea are reportedly willing to make a £50million bid for Everton forward Richarlison.
