Kalidou Koulibaly's agent Fali Ramadani has educated Chelsea regarding His cost
Kalidou Koulibaly's representative Fali Ramadani has educated Chelsea regarding the value they would need to pay for the defender, as per reports.One of Chelsea's highest priorities in this summer transfer window is obtaining new defenders to remake their backline.
Having lost the services of Antonio Rudiger to Real Madrid on a free, Andreas Christensen being revealed as a Barcelona player, and skipper Cesar Azpilicueta possibly following his previous Danish partner to the Catalan club, Chelsea drastically need to sort out their defense.
Chelsea took off to America for their pre-season visit on Saturday in anticipation of the new Premier League season that starts in just under a month and are yet to make a single signing. Blues fans have must show restraint up to this stage, yet it looks as however some deals could be close to the end.
Raheem Sterling has put pen to paper for a five-year-manage Chelsea and a transfer expense of £47.5 million has been concurred with Manchester City.
The show with Brazilian ace Raphinha is still unwinding yet the latest reports suggest that Leeds United are developing more frustrated with Barcelona which might invite Chelsea who stay the main club to have an offered acknowledged.
While both Raphinha and Sterling would be statement signings from the Blues this summer, the question remains who will they sign to bolster the defense. Nathan Ake looks to have moved into the main spot, with lead trainer Thomas Tuchel previously stating that he is a 'key figure' in the reconstruct.
Matthijs de Ligt has been one more name the Blues have been connected with the entire summer, yet Chelsea face contest from Bayern Munich for the signing. Neither one of the sides have sent off an authority bid, however it is accepted that De Ligt would be sharp for a switch to the Bundesliga despite being an admirer of the manner in which Tuchel gets the best out of defenders.
There are different options on the table however, including Napoli's Koulibaly. The Senegalese defender is 31-years-old and has just one year leftover on his agreement. As per Corriere Dello Sport, his representative, Ramadani has informed the Blues that they would need to pay €40 million to sign him this summer.

They also have revealed that Koulibaly is set to meet with Napoli this week to discuss his expected exit after he declined a proposal from president Aurelio de Laurentiis because of realizing he is 'popular' in the transfer market.
A move could see him interface up with public side partner Edouard Mendy as the west London side hope to change their defence.Chelsea and Barcelona are both considering an arrangement, and Juventus are interested however Napoli want to sell to an opponent and the player has no intentions to move to Turin.
Should Napoli clutch him this summer, they risk losing him in vain the following summer, so it could merit letting him go should someone offer the right cost.
