Kalidou Koulibaly has completed his move to Al Hilal.
Chelsea confirmed the sale of Koulibaly to Al Hilal, marking the end of the defender’s one-year stint with the club. Koulibaly joined Chelsea in a £34 million deal from Napoli last summer. However, the Saudi side have managed to sign the 32-year-old for just half of what Chelsea paid for him, with the transfer fee set at £17 million.
