Agent drops hint: Star could sign for Chelsea this summer
KALIDOU KOULIBALY’S agent has refused to rule out a move to Chelsea for his client.
Antonio Conte tried to sign the Napoli star last summer, but they had a £58million bid rejected.
Koulibaly ended up signing a new five-year deal back in September.
With John Terry likely to leave, Conte is on the look out for a top centre-half.

Antonio Conte is still interested in signing Kalidou Koulibaly
And now Koulibaly’s agent has refused to slam the door on a Stamford Bridge move for the defender which will please Conte, who is still interested in signing the 25-year-old.
“Chelsea were interested but then they signed David Luiz and you also have John Terry and Gary Cahill at the club so there is a lot of competition there,” Bruno Satin told Radio Kiss Kiss Napoli.
“So we will see what happens. A lot of the improvements that Koulibaly has made in his game has been down to the coaching of Maurizio Sarri.
“Whatever happens in the future will depend on the president [Aurelio De Laurentiis] and whether or not he decides to evaluate any offers that may come in.”
