Chelsea set to make move for experienced Napoli defender


The agent of Napoli centre-half Kalidou Koulibaly is allegedly eyeing up a deal with either Barcelona or Chelsea.

While I Partenopei have fallen short in their bid to lift this season’s Serie A trophy, the club have secured a return to the UEFA Champions League for the 2022-23 term.

Nevertheless, speculation persists that the Senegal international wants to take on a new challenge, the player coming to the end of his eighth season in Naples.

According to a report from Area Napoli, the player’s representative has made contact with the Blues and Blaugrana, the two European outfits being identified as possible destinations for the 30-year-old who has just over 12 months left on his deal.

The report claims that the star is eager to win silverware in a foreign division, resulting in the La Liga and Premier League giants being deemed to be perfect teams for the next phase of his senior career.

In spite of Napoli president Aurelio de Laurentiis being against his sale in the past, it is stated that a proposal of €35 million (£29.6 million) may be enough to get a possible deal over the line over the coming weeks.
