Chelsea given transfer hope as agent says Barcelona can't afford to sign Napoli ace
Kalidou Koulibaly is a long time taget of Chelsea and his agent Bruno Satin talked about the future of the Napoli center. "It's difficult to maintain a high level of competitiveness,” he told Radio Crc. “Juventus has lost Bonucci while Chiellini and Barzagli are a bit ' aged.”
“I am confident in Madrid’s interest in him, not Barcelona’s. I do not think Barca have the money to buy Koulibaly. Newspaper’s in Barcelona link him, but I would not give heed to that news.”
He continued, “I would not be surprised if someone asked for Koulibaly, but he is focused on Napoli so it is not a problem. Kalidou is heading into the matches with Sassuolo and Manchester City In England.”
Speaking of their Champions League match with City, he added, “Napoli has played at a very high level, and we hope to win the match at São Paolo. [Koulibaly] is an important piece in Napoli’s puzzle. Thanks also to Sarri who gives him responsibility and confidence.”
