Chelsea have met Napoli’s €50 million asking price for centre-back Kalidou Koulibaly but the Italian club have rejected the offer anyway, according to reports from Italy.
Gazzetta dello Sport‘s Carlo Laudisa has Tweeted that last season’s Serie A runners-up have rejected the offer after failing to secure a replacement in Torino’s Nikola Maksimoviu0107.
Il #Chelsea ha offerto €50 mln per #Koulibaly ma il #Napoli chiude. Anche perché il #Torino ha rifiutato €25 mln per #Maksimovic
