Koulibaly move to Chelsea is still a shocking move to me. Few days ago, the Senegalese was keen on contract extension with Napoli and now he's in Stamford bridge. He's blues new centre back, then lost defenders in the transfer window, and they they got a new centre back, not just a centre back but also one with the capacity to maintain good conduct with his teammates. He always do better on the pitch and he kind of have this kind of tackling strive that always meet up his target. He will impressed blues fans and I can't wait to see him start games in Stamford bridge.
No doubt, Koulibaly is a perfect replacement of Rudiger. When you check the ability and energy both guys use to play, you will appreciate them. But some people are saying that age is not friendly with Koulibaly. But however it might be, it is still a good business for Chelsea.
I like transfers that are so fast like Koulibaly and Chelsea, not Manchester United and De Jong. If you have money and know what you want, go for it
The difference is quite significant and I can't even compare Koulibaly with De Jong.
The reason for the fast transfer here, apart from Chelsea paying according to what Napoli wanted, Napoli also didn't mind releasing him as long as the price was right. Unlike Barcelona, where there is no clarity there which makes this incomparable.
But saying that Koulibaly is the right replacement might be true considering that in this case Koulibaly is also not bad even though Rudiger's skills are clearly superior.
