Ake and Koulibaly are officially at Stamford Bridge now and it looks like the rumors about Kimpembe and Kounde will end with these two defenders.
Kounde is still worth bringing but with the high price tag and with Ake and Koulibaly I think Chelsea should be content with defense and focus more on center forwards now.
Koulibaly signed a 4 years contract with Chelsea for €38m. For Ake, AFAIK he will stay with City and Chelsea will turn to Kounde. Once they secure another defender, they will focus on the other positions.
Well... it is also a perfect transfer for Bayern too.
They got 50m for a 34 yo player with 1 year left in his contract.
Not sure who did the best move between Barca and Bayern but probably the german team.
It is the best move for Barcelona in short term and for Bayern in long term.
Barca will have a better attacking line this season while Bayern will try to pick a new player who could replace Lewandowski for the upcoming seasons.
