After just one season in England, Kalidou Koulibaly is about to head back to Italy. Chelsea do not have the Senegal captain in their plans. The 31-year-old defender, who has had a mixed season with the Blues, has been attracted by Inter Milan's plans, which guarantee him playing time and the chance to compete in the Champions League. The Nerazurri, who are set to lose Milan Skriniar to Paris SG next season, need a central defender.
According to Calciomercato, Inter Milan have made an offer of a loan deal with an option to buy. Discussions with Chelsea are continuing and could rapidly lead to an agreement. The player has been offered a salary of €6 million less than what Kalidou Koulibaly earns with the Blues (€9 million). An agreement is also close to being reached.
