Chelsea star Kalidou Koulibaly is 'unhappy' at Stamford Bridge and is said to have held a meeting with Juventus manager Massimiliano Allegri over a potential return to Italy. The Senegalese defender signed for the Blues last summer after completing a £34million move from Napoli.
Koulibaly has struggled to settle in at the club since his arrival which has not been helped by two managerial changes and a run of poor results this term. Chelsea are planning a big summer clearout after spending close to £600million on new signings in the last two transfer windows.
Koulibaly, who has appeared in 22 Premier League games this season, could join a host of players like Hakim Ziyech, Christian Pulisic and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang in leaving the club this summer. The Senegal international is currently recovering from an injury he sustained during the Champions League quarter-final first-leg against Real Madrid but may already be seeking an exit from Stamford Bridge ahead of next season.

according to La Gazzetta dello Sport , Koulibaly is reportedly considering a move back to Italy in the summer just one season after moving to the Premier League. The Chelsea defender is 'unhappy' at the club and has now spoken to Massimiliano Allegri over a possible transfer to Juventus ahead of the 2023/24 campaign.
While there have been no concrete talks over a transfer at the moment, something could materialise in the future as the Juventus boss is known to be an admirer of the player since his time in Naples. The Blues may have to take a significant hit on their £34million investment if they are to cut ties with Koulibaly - whilst also having to replace the defender with a new signing unless Levi Colwill is given a chance in the first team upon his return from loan.
