Agent: Chelsea and Everton want Napoli’s Koulibaly

Matt Stead

Kalidou Koulibaly’s agent has revealed that Premier League sides Chelsea and Everton are interested in his client.

Reports last week indicated that the Napoli centre-back had been offered to several clubs, including Arsenal.

Bruno Satin, who represents Koulibaly, says the defender is likely to move to the Premier League and that the Senegal international is looking to leave the club.

“I was in Dimaro on Saturday and we discussed a contract renewal,” Satin told Radio CRC. “However, we are not at the point of reaching an agreement. The desire of the player is to leave the club, not renew.

“We are told by the club that he is a great player but from the renewal on offer, we don’t see this.

“Last year they wanted to sell him, stating he was not focused enough, but then last season he has shown all his quality.

“To the fans I say stay calm because he won’t be joining Juventus. Chelsea and Everton are still interested as they are both searching for a central defender of his quality.”
