Napoli chief 'furious' at Koulibaly
Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis is ‘furious’ with Kalidou Koulibaly and his agent Fali Ramadani after the centre-back rejected a contract extension with the club.
football.london understands that a deal for Koulibaly is now close. Plus, Italian transfer guru Alfredo Pedulla of Sport Italia has since said that the 31-year-old has accepted a five-year contract proposal worth around £7.6million-£8.4million per year (roughly £180,000-a-week).
Whilst that's great news for Chelsea fans, De Laurentiis isn't taking the news well. Valter De Maggio, the editor-in-chief of Napoli’s official Radio Station Radio Kiss Kiss, as cited by Football Italia, claims that the Napoli chief is angry with the Senegal defender.
