After Jules Kounde and then Matthijs de Ligt, it’s now the chance for a third top tier European centre back to reach the front of Chelsea’s “most wanted” list.
Kalidou Koulibaly has been a target for many top teams – Chelsea included – for many year. But he’s not ever seemed particularly attainable, with many top teams being bounced by Napoli’s major asking price.
As his contract winds down now, he’s finally becoming more affordable, and Napoli seem to have conceded that he will go this summer.
CaughtOffside are reporting now that Chelsea are moving in for the Senegal international, hoping to bring in an experienced physical defender to replace Antonio Rudiger at the back.
Many Blues fans will have had other favourites, but at this point, with months having passed without a signing made at the back, those same fans will likely be happy with any arrival before the Blues leave their summer training camp in the USA.
