This afternoon has seen strong indications that Chelsea’s move for Kalidou Koulibaly is moving forward pretty swiftly.
David Ornstein – who has shown for sure this window that he’s top dog when it comes to connections – Tweeted confidently today that the Blues are clues to making a deal.
Now Fabrizio Romano, possibly feeling the heat on having missed out on the initial scoop, has followed up with more details about the transfer.
Thomas Tuchel is the man who wants Kalidou Koulibaly, considered perfect option for Chelsea. Todd Boehly took care of negotiations with his agent in June and then yesterday, with new meeting. 🔵 #CFC https://t.co/RwprKLJF8l

His take is that it’s a Thomas Tuchel led effort, with the club bowing to the head coach’s taste in central defenders after having let two of them go.
With Todd Boehly happy to back the German’s taste in players and to conduct the negotiations, it feels like we’re finally clicking into gear with a system that will serve us for the rest of this summer.
Even if we were to find a director of football in the next few weeks, their time to make an impact would be minimal now the window is wide open.
