On June 27, British media have reported that Manchester United, Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur are among the giants who have thrown their olive branches at Sevilla center back Conde. The French international's default fee is as high as 75 million euros, while he is the shortest center back in La Liga, with a height of only 1 meter 78!
Conde's performance in La Liga last season was top-notch, and during the off-season, both Manchester United and Chelsea expressed strong desire to buy from Sevilla. Tottenham Hotspur, who have yet to decide on a manager, have also joined the ranks of those chasing Conde.
At the age of 22, Conde is a regular international player of the French national team. With a height of 1 meter 78, he can play both center back and right back. In the group stage of the European Cup, Konde had started against Portugal, but the performance was mediocre.
Nonetheless, Conde continues to have a steady stream of suitors. Kong De is not tall, but his ability to jump and judge the landing spot is very good, which often helps him win the aerial confrontation. As a short center back, Conde has a balanced two-footed technique and a strong ability to get to the ball. Last season against Barcelona, he also had a dragon goal highlights.
Due to his short stature, many questioned whether Conde could adapt to the intensity of the Premier League. After all, there are very few center backs in the Premier League who are less than 1m80 in height, even Manchester City's Ake, who is 1m80! However, the La Liga field is full of short center backs, such as former Barcelona captain Puyol and Valencia captain Ayala.
In fact, Conde himself has doubts about playing in the Premier League. It is reported that the team that Conde would prefer to join is Real Madrid. He believes that his effective experience at Sevilla has eliminated the need for him to adapt to the Spanish league, while Ramos' departure and Varane's uncertainty function in favor of his positioning at Real Madrid.
Previously, Conde has made it clear that he wants to play in a different environment. He wants to join a championship level team. However, Conde's contract with Sevilla doesn't expire until the summer of 2024. Considering his default fee is as high as €75 million, will any team really throw money at him this summer?
