Chelsea are willing to meet Napoli's price for Kalidou Koulibaly.

Il Corriere dello Sport says Chelsea have "no problem" meeting Napoli's £34m asking price for Koulibaly.

The Blues are on the lookout for defensive reinforcements after losing both Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen this summer.

And the Blues are now thought to have stepped up their interest in Napoli defender Koulibaly, 31.

Chelsea are prepared to stump up the £34m Napoli are asking for to part ways with the defender.

Koulibaly is out of contract with the Serie A side at the end of next season, meaning this summer is Napoli's last chance to demand a sizeable fee.
