Chelsea Transfer News: Major Update On £19.2m Bid For Highly Rated Senegalese Defender

KALIDOU KOULIBALY

The Blues are looking to give their defense a new look with several defenders being linked with a move to Stamford Bridge. The most prominent name however is Kalidou Koulibaly from Napoli.

The player revealed few days back that he is unhappy with his situation at the club and is looking to move away from Napoli in the summer. Now Mirror has reported that Chelsea has bid for the Senegal international with an offer of £19.2 million. The 25 year old with a height of 6 feet 5 inches will be able to provide Chelsea defense with a towering presence next season.

However the player’s valuation at Napoli is of £30 million and we are not really sure if the Italian club will allow the player to leave at a discount. Considering that the player has caused a ruckus in the media by publicly declaring that he will start talking to Conte, we may actually see the transfer happening.
