kalidou koulibaly It has become one of the names of the summer transfer market. The Senegalese has asked Napoli to leave in this period with the intention of going to another more important club that can fight for titles and, with his contract ending in the summer of 2023, it seems to be the ideal time to change scenery.
His situation has placed him in the sights of several important teams that want to sign him to strengthen their defense for next season. As reported by Sky Sports, there are three big clubs that have the Senegalese center-back in their sights for this summer transfer market.
The 3 clubs that are in the running to sign Koulibaly
-FC Barcelona: The Blaugrana team has it as a plan B if the incorporation of Jules Koundé, Xavi’s main request, gets complicated. The Spanish coach would have given the go-ahead for the incorporation of Koulibaly, who thinks that he can form an ideal couple with Ronald Araújo. Barcelona needs a new central defender before the possible departure of Gerard Piqué plus the confirmed ones of Lenglet and Umtiti.
-Chelsea: The Blue team needs to sign a central defender after the departure of Rüdiger and Christensen as free agents. Thomas Tuchel has noticed the Senegalese because they have ruled out other names such as Jules Koundé. It is a profile that they like a lot and that can fit perfectly within the Premier League.
-Juventus of Turin: La Vecchia Signora want Koulibaly if the departure of Matthijs de Ligt, who has an agreement with Bayern Munich and is also being targeted by Chelsea, is confirmed. The Dutchman asked to leave Juventus to play for another club and his departure seems to be imminent. The club wants the African to replace him and for him to become the new leader of the club’s defense.
