Aurelio De Laurentiis has hinted that Kalidou Koulibaly could leave the club if Chelsea come calling.

I wouldn't give that club and that president a fucking penny for him.

Because ADL didn't want to sell him last summer because they had higher hopes of being in the UCL and competing against Juventus? And they lost Higuain as well. The Napoli fans wouldn't accept it. Koulibaly is still a damn fine defender and if Napoli want to sell him for a good fee Chelsea should move for him. 

He's the type of killer-defender you want to have. Him or Van Dijk. 

It's not Napoli's or ADL's job to sell to us when we come knocking.

Before, I would've taken him, but I'd be scared to now after seeing Mangala fail in England. They play like-for-like in every way from what I've seen.

Exactly. He reminds me Mangala a lot. Mangala was superb too when he was at Porto. We can't deny that there is a lot of chances he will fail in PL. It huge risk.

I can't agree and I wouldn't pay anymore than 20M for him.

Who said it was their job to sell to us if we came knocking? Stop assuming.

Had my doubts about him last season, which is why I didn't agree with the whole 'get him at all costs' narrative that ran through this thread last summer. Even more doubts after the current season. Physically impressive and all but leaves a lot to be desired on a tactical level. Doesn't offer any leadership qualities either in terms of organising the defence. He could be very useful alongside highly tactically astute defenders, but Chelsea don't have those types in their ranks. Someone like Van Dijk is the superior prospect, and even Virgil doesn't fully convince me as a potential top defender.

Napoli turning down that ridiculous offer was a blessing in disguise. For me anyway.

Agree, I'm not a big fan of Koulibaly either, but after this season Conte deserves to be trursted. If this guy is what he needs then make it happen if it's possible.

Aurelio de Laurentiis says he stopped Chelsea signing defender Kalidou Koulibaly last summer because his club couldn't find a suitable replacement for the 25-year-old. (Bein Sports, via Metro)

[the wes 7,212]

Premium Sport have revealed that Napoli have a gentleman’s agreement with Koulibaly that will allow him to leave if they receive a bid of €60 million (£52m).

 

[Adnane 1,101]

No thanks.

Thank god we didn't pay that much for him by the way.

I know it sounds crazy cause Bonucci is the best defender in the world, but if we were to only buy one, K2 fits our current needs far better. The dude is a mountain of a man with some good skill, he would be a great LCB. Dealing with Napoli is just the worst though. Lets hope we buy who Conte wants quickly.

[zekinjo 449]

Maybe Koulibaly is our last backup option this year. If we're going to believe to the media our first options are VVD and Bonucci. At least we know that ADL confirmed that if we want him this summer he could be ours for a right price (60m).

[Rekin 835]

If we are dead set on going for a new CB, KK is a good alternative to VVD. Both are imposing and ball playing defenders, would be an improvement on the squad.
