While there has been no official confirmation that a deal is done, Kalidou Koulibaly will soon be a Chelsea player.
That’s according to a lot of different sources, including the player himself on Tuesday, who said everything was going in the right direction.
Calciomercato.it provide a short update on the matter, firstly recalling that despite Juventus trying, the ‘defender said no, accepting Chelsea’s proposal’ instead.
Before that happens, however, Koulibaly ‘will fly to London today’, where he is then ‘expected for medicals and to sign a contract worth around £10m/season’.
All in all, the deal taking the centre-back to Chelsea is expected to bring €40m in the Napoli coffers, and that’s ‘including bonuses’, suggesting the initial fee isn’t that high.
A good deal all around for a player who has just one year left on his contract, even if the Serie A side didn’t particularly want to sell him in the first place.
