When an agent makes some bold claims to radio shows, you know stuff might happen relatively quickly, and that’s exactly what Kalidou Koulibaly’s representative did on Monday.
The player has made it clear he wants to leave the Serie A side, and a move to the Premier League is the most likely option, with Satin stating Everton and Chelsea were monitoring the situation.
A bid of €45m is expected to be enough to convince Napoli to let him go, and Gazzetta dello Sport say Aurelio de Laurentiis and co. are already looking at alternatives for the Senegalese international.
Both Shkodran Mustafi and Torino’s Nikola Maksimovic are the possible replacements, unless Juventus agree to reopen talks about the transfer of Daniele Rugani, who has been a long-term target of theirs.
Gazzetta seem to favour a move to Chelsea with an ‘especially’ stuck next to their name in the article, and with Antonio Conte still looking for a new centre-back, it’s becoming a real possibility.
