Chelsea are keen on selling defender Kalidou Koulibaly to Al-Hilal for an impressive £25 million.

The Senegal international joined the Blues for £32.4m last summer but failed to leave a lasting impression at Stamford Bridge.

The 31-year-old managed to score two goals in 32 appearances for Chelsea across all competitions last term. 

Gianluca Di Marzio has revealed that Koulibaly is close to accepting a move to Saudi Arabia.

Chelsea duo Edouard Mendy and Hakim Ziyech are also believed to be heading to the Middle East in the coming days.

The London-based club is going through an overhaul after missing out on European qualification for the first time since 2016.
