MADRID (Reuters) - Sevilla sporting director Monchi said the LaLiga club rejected Chelsea's bid for defender Jules Kounde as the offer was not satisfactory.

The European champions had been heavily linked with a move for the 22-year-old French international during this close-season transfer window but the two clubs could not reach an agreement.
