# Elseid Hysaj set to leave Napoli for free despite £43 million bid from Chelsea

Elseid Hysaj is reportedly set to leave Napoli on a free transfer next summer, despite the fact that Chelsea bid £43 million for the Albanian.

The defender is set to leave the club at the end of the season at the expiration of his deal at the club.

Chelsea offered Napoli £43 million for the defender, with the player’s agent confirming to an Italian radio station that the Blues were in for the defender.

Mario Giuffredi said, via the [Mail](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-7686035/Chelsea-offered-Napoli-43m-right-Elseid-Hysaj.html):

> Whatever happens with him, the outcome will be great.
>
> If we leave, we’ll do what we had to do in the summer. If we don’t leave, Napoli will lose the player on a free transfer, but it’ll always work out for us.
>
> A year-and-a-half ago, Napoli could’ve taken €50m from Chelsea. If Hysaj stays at Napoli, the Neapolitan club risks losing the player for nothing.

### Read Chelsea’s verdict

Chelsea have seemingly made the correct decision to not spend £43 million.

The Neapolitan side could’ve cashed in, but they now could lose out on a big transfer.

The Blues could potentially pick him up on a free transfer, but could choose to pass on the Albanian.
