West London giants Chelsea have been handed a major transfer boost in their pursuit of highly rated Napoli defender Kalidou Koulibaly.
The West Londoners received a big boost after Napoli manager Carlo Ancelotti told reporters that any of his players can leave the club if they no longer want to be a part of his team.
He was speaking during one of his latest press conferences via the Sunday Express.
The latest development from the Italian tactician has opened the door for Chelsea to make another big money raid on Napoli after the signing of Jorginho.
Current Blues boss Maurizio Sarri left Napoli for Chelsea at the start of the season alongside the aforementioned Jorginho.
Chelsea paid £57m to sign Italian international midfielder Jorginho ahead of Premier League rivals Manchester City.
The Blues wanted to sign Kalidou Koulibaly last summer but Napoli managed to hang on to his services though it might be more difficult for the Italian Serie A giants to hang on to him this summer with several clubs keen on a transfer for him.
Manchester United and Barcelona are some of the major European clubs interested in him.
Koulibaly is widely regarded as one of the best centre backs in world football alongside the likes of Sergio Ramos (Real Madrid) and Virgil Van Dijk (Liverpool).
