Last summer, it appeared that Chelsea were intent on adding to their central defender contingent by bringing the Napoli centre-back Kalidou Koulibaly to Stamford Bridge.
Many of you may recall that Chelsea, according to press speculation, were raising their bid for the 25-year-old on a regular basis, in order to acquire the services of the Senegal international.
However, according to one respected source, Metro, it wouldn`t have mattered how much Chelsea would have offered Napoli for the player.
According to the Napoli president, Aurelio de Laurentiis, it wasn`t about the money Chelsea were offering but more to do with Napoli being unable to procure a replacement.
As it turned out, Chelsea opted to bring David Luiz back to Stamford Bridge from Paris Saint-Germain and the club has never looked back.
Strange how things turn out isn`t it?
