Chelsea football club are interested in signing Senegal’s Napoli’s central defender, Kalidou Koulibaly.
Reports from Italian media, Corriere Dello Sport, say the defender has made a decision not to return to Napoli for next season’s games.
His contract with Napoli expires next summer, but he is not looking to sign a new deal with the Kalidou Koulibaly side.
Meanwhile, Chelsea’s coach Thomas Tuchel is interested in bringing the Senegal international to Stamford Bridge to replace Anthony Rudiger who left for Real Madrid.
However, the Blues will have to battle Juventus, who are also keeping a close eye on Koulibaly’s situation and are offering him the chance to stay in Italy.
But the 31-year-old wants to leave Italy this summer and experience a new league.
Chelsea FC have agreed a £50m for Raheem Sterling from rival Manchester City, the winger would be officially announced soon.
