Sevilla already have their Kounde REPLACEMENT in their sights
The Spanish club is one of the best at moving around the transfer market and they've already eyed their next signing
Sevilla are one of the best selling clubs in the world. Without fail, every window, Monchi and his team are turning one of their shrewd aqusitions into millions.
