Senegal's captain Kalidou Koulibaly signed Al-Hilal from Chelsea on Sunday, the Premier League club announced, making him the newest famous person to travel to Saudi Arabia. Koulibaly just last year transferred from Napoli to the Blues for an alleged $42 million (163 million pounds). Although Chelsea finished 12th in the Premier League, their lowest league position since 1994, the 32-year-old struggled there.
After completing a permanent transfer to Saudi Professional League team Al-Hilal, Koulibaly has departed Chelsea, according to a statement from the club.
We would like to express our gratitude to Kalidou for his services both on and off the pitch during his time at Stamford Bridge and our best wishes for his future career.
