Barcelona could hijack Chelsea's move for Jules Kounde thanks to new investment could hijack 's move for defender thanks to a massive investment they are set to receive from US investment group Sixth Street. According to , Barca will receive £255 million from the US-based fund in exchange for an additional 15 percent of their media rights over the next 25 years. Barcelona recently signed a deal with Sixth Street worth £170 million for 10 percent of their media rights. Earlier, they agreed on a three-year deal worth £238 million with Spotify in exchange for shirt and stadium sponsorship. The cash infusion will help the Catalan giants deal with their dire financial situation and rope in their top transfer targets. Barcelona signed Denmark defender Andreas Christensen and Ivory Coast midfielder Franck Kessie on free transfers. The club also spent around to acquire Brazilian winger Raphinha from Leeds United, and another for Polish striker Robert Lewandowski from Bayern Munich. The Catalan giants are willing to break the bank once again for the Sevilla centre-back. The Frenchman has developed into one of the most promising young prospects in Europe thanks to his performances over the last couple of seasons. He helped Sevilla win the 2019-20 Europa League. He made 44 appearances across all competitions last season and helped Julen Lopetegui's side finish fourth in La Liga. He helped his team maintain the best defensive record in the division, conceding only 30 goals. Chelsea have been heavily linked with a move for the 23-year-old and have reportedly offered £55 million for his services, an offer Sevilla are ready to accept. However, the Blaugrana look set to win the race for the Frenchman thanks to the influx of cash from Sixth Street.
