Insane release clause, wtf. He’s unproven and got a bigger clause than Laporte?

Sevilla signed him just over a year ago for 20m+. That's probably why he has such a big release clause.

well he obviously HAD a clause when we bought him

You probably would've said at the time that Laporte was "unproven" too though? Plus, that was three years ago so you have to factor in inflation when comparing release clauses.

Imagine an Otamendi - Diego Carlos centre back partnership lol

Absolutely not, one could see from miles away he was top quality. Not nearly as convinced with this guy.

I don’t believe this for a second because it just makes too much sense for us. Getting a young and capable CB while shipping Otamendi the other way? Nah not gonna believe it.

He's like 6 foot and looks like he weighs 10 stone wet through. Hardly the big, dominating defender we have been missing since Vinny left. This just screams third choice signing since the other two are too expensive.

Player Analysis: Jules Koundé - Breaking The Lines

From Aymeric Laporte to Raphaël Varane, from Presnel Kimpembe to Dayot Upamecano, there isn't a single nation in the world that can hold a candle to France's center back depth, and the next name in France's laundry list of elite center backs is 21-year-old Jules Koundé. After rising up...

Got a release clause of £68.25m apparently. Maybe they'd take £60m plus Otamendi?

Or less, then we could sign Koulibaly as well.
