Chelsea wants to sign Kalidou Koulibaly to a Serie A team at the end of the current campaign, as per the report.

 

According to the sources, the Blues intend to offload the Senegal international as part of a summer clean-out after the current season.

 

Although the defender has only been with the club since July, he has fallen short of the hopes many had for him after his £33 million transfer.

 

Benoit Badiashile recently replaced him in the lineup after impressing manager Graham Potter in his first two games for the team since joining last month.

 

Wesley Fofana’s impending return raises some serious concerns for Koulibaly, who undoubtedly didn’t join the team for infrequent cameos off the bench.

 

He has a distinguished career behind him due to his dominating Serie A performances in recent years.

 

The sources stated that Chelsea is hoping an Italian club will still be interested in signing him at the end of the current campaign.

 

The Blues will also be keeping a careful eye on a player who occupies the same position as the Senegalese player as someone who can step in for him immediately.

 

Levi Colwill has had another incredible loan season, this time at the highest level with underachieving Brighton.

 

Despite his current injury, the defender has even been on Gareth Southgate’s radar this season for a potential England call-up.

 

His left foot and exceptional ball skills should allow him to fit in perfectly with Chelsea’s backline, and his age suggests he will be an important player for many years.a
