Kalidou Koulibaly is making headlines for accelerated talks to try and save Chelsea from their defender crisis.

Reports from reliable outlets plugged into Italy and England mentioned that the Senegalese had his agent Ramadani meet with Chelsea just the other day.

It’s said that personal terms were never a big issue and that Koulibaly has already accepted wages at £180,000 a week at Chelsea (nice bumper for him).

With 1 year left on his contract, the controversial Napoli boss Aurelio De Laurentiis might have to concede defeat on this one & cash in while he can.

€40m for a 31 year old defender that is keen to leave with less then 12 months left on his deal is very respectable and should meet their valuation.

ChelseaFC365 understand Edouard Mendy has been in contact with his international teammate.

Updated : ChelseaFC365 told by 2 sources that Koulibaly has an agreement in place with the club and will soon ask Napoli to let him go.
