Sarri plots move to raid former club for £80m-rated star – report

Maurizio Sarri is ready to raid his former club again with Kalidou Koulibaly being the next player he wants at Stamford Bridge, according to the Express.

Sarri took over Chelsea from Antonio Conte and brought in Jorginho from Napoli and the report claims that the Blues want to revamp their defence with David Luiz looking like a player that could be sold.

Napoli have put up a price tag of £80m on the Senegal defender and Koulibaly was also one of the stars for the African side during the World Cup.

The 27-year-old has been a long-term target for the Blues and now with Sarri in the side, we could end up bringing the player to Stamford Bridge.

Chelsea are a little behind when it comes to bringing players into the club because of the time it took us to sign Sarri over to the club.

We only have three weeks before the transfer window closes and it will be a busy time for the Blues as we look to prepare for a proper challenge for the Premier League title.

There is no doubt that Sarri would have a few plans about who else he wants in the side and Koulibaly would be an excellent signing for us.

The £80m being quoted for him might seem a bit excessive but if he performs to his best, we would have signed an incredible defender that can be a stalwart for the Blues in the near future.
