Kalidou Koulibaly of Chelsea has received a move offer from Saudi Arabia.
Kalidou Koulibaly of Chelsea has reportedly been contacted by Saudi Arabia about a potential move to the Middle East this summer; Al Ittihad is said to be a prospective location.
The defender moved to West London from Napoli for £34m last summer, playing for Thomas Tuchel, Graham Potter, and Frank Lampard as the Blues ended 12th in the Premier League.
It was anticipated that the Senegal international would continue to make an impact at Stamford Bridge after amassing over 300 games during a remarkable eight-year run with the Serie A champions.
Koulibaly, though, has reportedly been given a way out of Chelsea this summer, with Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund eager to bring the player to the Saudi Pro League, according to the Daily Mail.
The center-back may join Karim Benzema at Al Ittihad, the team that narrowly beat out Cristiano Ronaldo's Al Nasr for the title this year, according to the report.
Koulibaly is reportedly open to talking about moving to the Middle East, and Chelsea may be willing to trade the defender in order to trim down their overcrowded squad before Mauricio Pochettino assumes leadership.
