The agent of Kalidou Koulibaly has hinted that the defender could be on the move this summer.

According to a report in The Sun Chelsea are still keeping tabs on the powerful stopper.

Chelsea had a £52m offer knocked back in the summer with the 25-year-old signing a new contract soon after.

Antonio Conte is determined to overhaul his defence in the summer and wants to bring in some top names.

Virgil van Dijk has been strongly linked with a move from Southampton but Koulibaly is also on Conte’s wish list.

It would take a bid of over £60m to bring Napoli to the negotiating table but Roman Abramovich is prepared to bankroll a massive investment programme in the summer.

With the Premier League title within reach Conte is ambitious to make Chelsea a force again in the Champions League with the former Juventus boss keen to bring in Koulibaly to achieve those ambitions.
