Chelsea target Kalidou Koulibaly will stay at Napoli this summer, according to the Serie A club’s sporting director Cristiano Giuntoli.

Regarded as one of the finest defenders on the planet right now, there has been constant speculation in the media that our club, along with the likes of Manchester City, Manchester United, Liverpool and Tottenham, are all keen to bring the powerhouse to the Premier League.

It has been believed that Napoli would be open to the idea of letting Koulibaly leave the club this transfer window if clubs met his massive £60 million asking price, but with a few weeks to go in the transfer window, no moves have officially been made.

But now it seems that the Premier League will not be seeing the arrival of Koulibaly this transfer window as the club’s sporting director Cristiano Giuntoli has now claimed that the powerhouse will now stay with the Italian club.

“Our squad is complete, so will now try to release players who won’t have much time on the pitch,” Giuntoli told Sky in Italy before Napoli’s Serie A game against Genoa on Sunday afternoon.

“I think Koulibaly is staying, we are very happy and so is he. He has three years on his current deal, I believe he is staying.”

We are massive fans of Koulibaly and firmly believe that he has the ability to improve this  side, so it has been a shock to see that now Premier League offer has been made, because the Italians would have sold for the right money.
