London's "Chelsea" continues to work at a very fast pace in the summer transfer window. Journalist Fabrice Hawkins reports that "Chelsea" is very close to reaching an agreement with "Napoli" for the acquisition of Kalidou Koulibaly. This information was also confirmed by David Ornstein from "The Athletic", stating that the transfer fee should be around 40 million euros, and the player should be offered a long-term contract. K. Koulibaly's contract ends next year. The center-back has been a key player for "Napoli" since 2014, contributing to several titles and successful seasons. In the previous season, the 31-year-old defender scored 3 goals and provided 3 assists. According to "Goal" representative Nizaaras Kansella, "Napoli" is looking to sell the long-time team defender to anyone but the "Juventus" team.
