Sevilla have lowered their asking price for Manchester United and Arsenal target Jules Kounde to ensure they can cash in on the defender this summer, say reports.
The 22-year-old is a sought-after prospect after impressing with the La Liga club and playing a big part in their Europa League triumph last season.
Kounde is valued at €90 million (£77m) by the Spanish club, but they could be willing to lower their demands to reach an agreement with one of the English suitors.
The Red Devils ended their pursuit of the centre-back when they were alerted to his price tag and started looking at Villarreal’s Pau Lopez instead.
But the Old Trafford club revived interest after Sevilla decided to reduce their demands by more than 30 per cent to €60m (£51m).
And it came after Sevilla rejected a €55m (£47m) bid from Manchester City for the player a few days ago, a figure that was considered too low.
PSG and Real Madrid could provide further competition for Kounde’s signature at the end of the season after showing interest.
