The highly rated defender has been a target for Manchester United as well. The Old Trafford outfit even submitted a bid for him earlier this year.
According to latest reports,
Chelsea have submitted a 38 million pounds bid for the Senegal
defender. Koulibaly is apparently on top of Chelsea’s transfer wishlist
right now and the player’s agent has fuelled further speculations by
claiming that his client has decided to complete a transfer away from
Napoli this summer.
He also claimed that Koulibaly will not join another Italian rival like Higuain, therefore hinting at a Chelsea transfer.
He said: “Chelsea still want him and there’s time to close the deal.
We’ve decided to leave for economic reasons. After what happened to
Higuain, though, Kalidou will not be leaving for Juventus or another
competitor.”
Chelsea desperately need a centre back with John Terry regressing
rapidly and the inconsistency of Cahill and Ivanovic. Kurt Zouma remains
the only reliable defender at the club, but it will be interesting to
see how he performs post recovery from a horrible injury.
Koulibaly has been one of the best defenders in Serie A over the last season and would be a tremendous addition for the Blues.
