According to various sources, Napoli defender Kalidou Koulibaly is ready to join Chelsea on a long-term deal.
Despite the exits of Andreas Christensen, Antonio Rudiger, and Romelu Lukaku, head coach Thomas Tuchel is still looking for his first summer signing.
The Premier League heavyweights have been connected with a number of centre-backs, notably Jules Kounde of Sevilla and Matthijs de Ligt of Juventus.
However, it has been widely reported that Manchester City's Nathan Ake is most likely to return to Stamford Bridge for a second time.
In recent days, speculation has grown about Koulibaly's next move, with Chelsea reportedly wanting to bring in another leader.
The Blues are said to be willing to pay the asking fee. The Blues are reportedly willing to pay the Senegal international's asking price despite the fact that he has less than a year left on his contract.
Chelsea are close to completing the transfer of the 31-year-old, according to French journalist Fabrice Hawkins.
Hawkins claims that Chelsea are willing to spend €40 million (£33.91 million) for Koulibaly, who is expected to sign a three-year contract with the West Londoners.
