Just one year after Kalidou Koulibaly’s move from Napoli to Chelsea, his comeback to the Serie A now seems to become a real possibility.
It’s Juventus who suddenly started getting linked to the 31-year-old, and Italian outlet Calcio Mercato shares a story explaining that today.
It’s claimed that the Old Lady have a task of going after a centre-back next summer, and the Chelsea defender is a player they like.
It turns out that the club wouldn’t find a lot of resistance from their fans, because as written in the story, ‘Chelsea fans don’t like him’ either, and see him as the ‘biggest disappointment’ of last summer’s transfer spend.
For Juventus to sign Koulibaly, it’s said they’d only negotiate in certain conditions, which would be a loan with a potential option to buy.
The big problem is said to be his salary, as Chelsea pay him €10m net per season. It’s said Juventus would only ‘go halfway’ of that, so that’s another factor that the Blues would need to facilitate to make this deal possible.
