Chelsea could make a surprise approach for Napoli defender Kalidou Koulibaly during the winter transfer window.

  • The Senegal international is one of the best defenders in the Serie A, and has spent the past seven years with Napoli.

    He was heavily linked with a move to the Premier League this summer, but just like in the past, nothing materialised.

    According to football.london, the Blues could make a surprise move for Koulibaly when the transfer window reopens.

    Napoli are facing financial difficulties, and they are open to parting ways with Koulibaly, who is their highest earner.

    The 30-year-old could be available for around €35m. The Blues are likely to pursue a new centre-back midway through the season.

    They were keen on landing Jules Kounde, but failed to negotiate a fee. Sevilla are unlikely to listen to any January offers.

    The Blues could be tempted to land Koulibaly, who has been a long-term target for them. He was first on their radar in 2016.
