Sevilla defender Jules Kounde has confirmed he spoke with Pep Guardiola about joining Manchester City.
The 22-year-old was one of Sevilla's star players last season as the Andalusian club won their sixth Europa League crown.
And Kounde admits he was interested in taking up Guardiola's offer to join City.
"Yes, I spoke with Pep Guardiola. He had him on the telephone," he confirmed to Canal Football Club.
"We spoke in Spanish. Everything went well. I was interested in going there and I had guarantees that I would play. But it didn't happen."
