Kalidou Koulibaly would be a new Chelsea player, according to Fabrizio Romano.

Chelsea was left with a bitter taste after being eliminated by Real Madrid in the Champions League quarter-finals and then seeing Manchester City win the Premier League. That's why the English club is starting to think about reinforcements for the start of the 2022-2023 season, and one of them would be Kalidou Koulibaly.

In that sense, according to Fabrizio Romano's information, the defender would become a new player for the Blues. This is what he stated on his Twitter account to the surprise of users, as the player's name was strongly linked to Barcelona.

"Kalidou Koulibaly to Chelsea, here we go! Full agreement in place for a completed €40 million fee, offer accepted. Napoli is reviewing the documents, then it will be official," wrote the journalist who specializes in transfer market.

The journalist added in another post that the 31-year-old Senegalese player would undergo medical tests on Thursday and then sign his contract. Thus, he would leave Napoli after eight seasons.
