Chelsea fans hoping to see Koulibaly sign
Chelsea fans have spoken and admitted they would like to see the club sign Napoli defender, Kalidou Koulibaly this summer.
We asked for the views of Chelsea supporters as to which defensive reinforcement they see as a ‘must buy’ this summer.
Various names have been thrown around as Antonio Conte looks to rebuild his defence ahead of his debut season in the Premier League.
Out of Napoli’s Koulibaly, AS Roma’s Kostas Manolas, Lazio’s Stefan de Vrij and young Benfica defender, Victor Lindelof, it was the French-born Senegalese international that ran away with the votes.
A massive 50% of all voters favoured the Napoli defender, who looks like he could be the most expensive option out of the four.
Koulibaly’s agent recently revealed to Football-Italia that his client would be leaving the club this summer, despite reports that claimed he was close to signing a new contract at the club.
He admitted that a deal with Chelsea could be on the cards.
We’ve decided to leave for economic reasons. After what happened to Higuain, though, Kalidou will not be leaving for Juventus or another competitor. Chelsea still want him and there’s time to close the deal.
