What if Jerome Boateng's signing at Olympique Lyonnais was thanks to Jules Kounde? Indeed, according to information from the Team, the German central defender had first given his oral agreement to Sevilla FC to join Andalusia in the event of the departure of the French international to Chelsea.

However, the non-departure of the former Bordeaux player to the Premier League pushed the 2014 world champion to join the fourth in Ligue 1 last year.

In addition, the former Bayern Munich had rejected several offers from the Bundesliga according to the daily, including Hertha Berlin who signed his half-brother Kevin-Prince.

The Champions League argument was important in his choice of club, which led him to strike a verbal deal with the Blanquirrojos this summer. Finally, he is Lyonnais for the next two seasons, considering OL as "a French Bayern".
