Chelsea player talks on the phone with Massimilano Allegri about moving to Juventus
Kalidou Koulibaly, a centre back for Chelsea, is in negotiations with Juventus.
According to rumours in Italy, Juventus is considering a summer transfer for Chelsea center-back Kalidou Koulibaly.
Koulibaly left Napoli for Chelsea in a £34 million deal in July of last year, but his first campaign at Stamford Bridge has been difficult.
Meanwhile, rumours say that Chelsea would explore offers for almost every first-team player because the club will need to drastically reduce its roster size at the end of the season.
La Gazzetta dello Sport claims that Juventus is already negotiating a contract with Koulibaly and is eager to bring the Senegal international back to Serie A.
According to the article, Juventus wants a first loan with no buy-back requirement, much like the arrangement that allowed Romelu Lukaku to rejoin Inter last summer.
Additionally, it is asserted that Koulibaly spoke with Massimiliano Allegri during a 'casual phone chat' between the two coaches of Juventus.
Before the defender joined Chelsea, Koulibaly's agent, Fali Ramadani, also spoke with Juventus the previous year.
Frank Lampard already has a wide range of choices at centre back for the rest of the season, and Chelsea was even compelled to leave Benoit Badiashile, their £35 million January acquisition, off of their Champions League roster.
Additionally, Chelsea must decide Levi Colwill's status at Stamford Bridge.
In advance of the summer transfer window, Tottenham, Manchester City, and Liverpool have expressed interest in the 20-year-old due to his performance on loan at Brighton.
