Kalidou Koulibaly is set become one of the biggest earners at Chelsea, with the 31-year-old close to penning a lucrative deal at Stamford Bridge this summer. The centre-back has been heavily linked with a move to west London for the best part of five-years and, amid an increasingly uncertain future at Napoli, Todd Boehly is 'very close' to welcoming the first signing of his tenure.
football.london understand Chelsea are very confident that the transfer of Koulibaly will be completed once the final details have been confirmed. According to widespread reports, the Blues have had a €40million (£34m) bid accepted by the Italian giants.
It's believed that the defender will pen a five-year contract at club and become a high-earner at Stamford Bridge. Fabrizio Romano claims that Koulibaly will earn a €10million (£8.3m) net salary in west London, rivalling the likes of N'Golo Kante, Timo Werner and Ben Chilwell.
