Al-Hilal are set to sign Kalidou Koulibaly, with the Chelsea defender being targeted amid a continued Saudi Pro League recruitment drive.
Koulibaly, 31, joined Chelsea from Napoli last summer but failed to live up to his big reputation as the Blues slipped to a 12th place Premier League finish. There is a rebuilding process set to take place this summer at Stamford Bridge, with up to twelve players leaving the club and Koulibaly could one of the first big names out of the door.
The Senegal international made 23 appearances in the league this season and could now move on just a single season into a four-year contract. He could follow Ngolo Kante out of the club, with the Frenchman also linked with a move to Saudi Arabian side Al-Ittihad ahead of his contract expiring on June 30.
