Chelsea can lure Koulibally with Champions League ―Agent

Chelsea’s chances of signing Napoli defender Kalidou Koulibaly could come down to their Champions League qualification.

Chelsea have continually been linked with Koulibaly since Antonio Conte’s appointment in the summer of 2016, and that is still the case despite doubts over Conte’s own position.

Now the defender’s agent, Bruno Satin, has admitted he does not know whether the Senegalese ace will be staying on at Napoli beyond the end of the season.

“There’s always a need to refresh things at a club, and that implies a change of players or staff, but I have no information about Napoli, although they certainly need to improve,” he told Radio Crc.

“I don’t know anything, neither do I know if Chelsea will qualify for the Champions League or not.

“It’s important to understand how the season will end because important players want to play the Champions League.

“The market and De Laurentiis will decide (his worth) because Kalidou has no release clause.

“The President may also decide to keep him because he considers him important for the team.”
