The longest will they, won't they relationship appears to be close to its conclusion. Kalidou Koulibaly might finally become a Chelsea player this summer after over six years of speculation linking the Napoli defender with a move to Stamford Bridge.
On Tuesday afternoon, reports emerged that Todd Boehly had moved fast for the 31-year-old defender with only one year left on his current deal with the Serie A club.
There are concerns over the length of a lucrative contract for a player entering his thirties. The club had been linked with younger targets like Matthijs de Ligt, who logically could have offered more longevity, but there is little doubt around Koulibaly's consistent excellence in Italy to make him one of Europe's highly regarded defenders.
