Sevilla have told Barcelona they will not accept less than the £55m (€65m) Chelsea offered for Jules Kounde, as per the reliable Nathan Gissing of CBS Sport.
Chelsea also offered the player €12m per year in wages net.
Barcelona did not make a bid, but sources close to the club say the Kounde is closed.
The Blaugrana simply cannot match Chelsea, as reported by Cope's Helena Condis earlier.
Barca are in need of a left-footed centred and or a left-back. Defenders like Samuel Umtiti and Oscar Mingueza are not counted by the club.
