‘He’s good as a football player and a top lad” – Powerful £60M star to be priority for new Chelsea owner Boehly
Demba Ba, a former Chelsea striker, believes that Napoli centre back Kalidou Koulibaly should be a top priority for new owner Todd Boehly.
Boehly’s ownership group, which includes Hansjorg Wyss, Mark Walker, and investment firm Clearlake Capital, has agreed to buy the west London club for £4.25 billion.
The British government must make a final judgment on the club’s takeover, but it is widely expected that a deal will be revealed in the next weeks, if not days.
As a result, several rumors in the media have suggested that Chelsea would rekindle their interest in Koulibaly now that Antonio Rudiger is set to leave the club during the summer season.
However, Area Napoli suggest Ramadani reckons Chelsea offer Koulibaly the best combination of pay packet and Champions League football.
And asked if Chelsea should step up their Koulibaly hunt, Ba said: “One hundred per cent. One thousand per cent. He has that stature. He can support pressure, bear in mind he plays for Senegal and plays for Napoli.
“He can handle the pressure. He’s good as a football player and a top lad.”
Well, Rudiger is leaving the club – that is a fact – so going out, spending £60 million and bringing Koulibaly to the club would be a very smart decision from the club
The man is great in the air, quick, powerful and can hold his own when it comes downs to playing out from the back.
So we would love to see Koulibaly at the club at the end of the season, he could be the ideal man to replace the German star
