Chelsea have been in talks to sign Napoli defender Kalidou koulibaly since last year, but the move never materialised, before Chelsea completed the signing of David Luiz on transfer deadline day.

Koulibaly’s agent Bruno Satin has confirmed Chelsea ‘offers’ and insists Koulibaly is a Napoli player until they decide otherwise.

“Important players can receive offers, but at the moment he’s a Napoli player and they can also reject them,” Bruno Satin said on Radio CRC.

“Every day you can read about interested clubs, in terms of rumours you in Italy are top of the world.

“It’s nonsense, and you don’t only do it with Kalidou. There’s a healthy working relationship with Napoli.

“Chelsea and Liverpool? I always talk with these kind of clubs, but about all of my clients, not just Kalidou. I do my job, we’re in the transfer window.”
