Kalidou Koulibaly Joins Al-Hilal From Chelsea
Saudi Arabia side, Al-Hilal have announced the signing of Kalidou Koulibaly from Chelsea for an undisclosed fee.
The centre-back, 32, joins Ruben Neves at the Saudi Pro League side following the Wolves midfielder’s £47m switch.
Koulibaly signed for Chelsea from Napoli last July on a four-year deal.
He arrived at Stamford Bridge with European and international experience, after helping Napoli win the Italian Cup in 2020 and Senegal claim the Africa Cup of Nations in 2022.
But he played just 32 games for the club in all competitions, scoring a total of two goals in 23 Premier League appearances.
“From my first game to my last, it was an honour to wear this badge,” Koulibaly posted on Twitter.
“Last season wasn’t the one we wanted, but I want to thank the fans and everyone at the club for your support.”
