Kalidou Koulibaly to be Maurizio Sarri's first signing at Juventus?

Juventus hope that Maurizio Sarri's imminent arrival from Chelsea will boost their chances of signing Napoli defender Kalidou Koulibaly, according to a report.

Chelsea boss Maurizio Sarri has eyed up a reunion with Napoli defender Kalidou Koulibaly at Juventus, according to a report.

Sarri is in line to be appointed as Juve's new head coach later this week after reputedly holding talks with the Italian champions.

Tuttosport claims that the 60-year-old already has possible targets in mind ahead of his return to Serie A, with Koulibaly - whom he worked with at Stadio San Paolo prior to taking over at Chelsea last year - top of his list.

Juve are said to be hopeful that Sarri's arrival will boost their chances of signing the Senegalese centre-back, although they acknowledge that a lot of work still has to be done to persuade Napoli to cash in.

Koulibaly has been strongly linked with a move to the Premier League with Manchester United in the past, while Real Madrid are also believed to have made an approach in recent weeks.
