Kalidou Koulibaly agent: There's enough time to agree Chelsea deal

The agent of Napoli defender Kalidou Koulibaly says he expects him to leave this summer.

Koulibaly is a target for Everton and Chelsea.

“Let's be clear, I went to meet the president at Dimaro last Saturday," said the player's agent Bruno Satin. “We summed up the situation after these tense few weeks.

“That I know of, he's not about to renew and the future doesn't look rosy. The player's desire is to leave and the signs we're receiving from Napoli don't exactly pressure him otherwise.

“We've decided to leave for economic reasons. After what happened to Higuain, though, Kalidou will not be leaving for Juventus or another competitor.

Chelsea still want him and there's time to close the deal."
