Karim Coulibaly, the 18-year-old central defender for Werder Bremen (under contract until 2029) and Germany’s U21s, is among Paris Saint-Germain’s targets for the transfer window. Journalist Florian Plettenberg (Sky Sport) reported this Thursday that PSG are indeed in the race, but it will be a competitive one. Chelsea in particular are involved as well. And the price is becoming clearer.
“Chelsea have entered the race for talented 18-year-old centre-back Karim Coulibaly, who is regarded as a top talent with huge potential. Chelsea are very impressed by his development. A summer transfer is 100% expected. Several top-level clubs are monitoring him, including Real Madrid, ManUtd, Newcastle, PSG and Napoli. Werder Bremen are still hoping to receive a fee of €40-50m.”
Be careful, this is still only a rumor. So there are no certainties, especially since quite a bit remains unclear. It is entirely believable that Coulibaly is being watched by a number of major European clubs, including PSG. Except that the list here is a little long, and it is difficult to say who will actually make a concrete move. That may be the case with Chelsea, but it has not been confirmed.
The price could also still change, with a €10 million range mentioned here. That is not insignificant. And everything can evolve depending on the real level of competition. Paris may well have a say, if there really is an attempt. A transfer seems to be taking shape, so let’s hope for something concrete before too long.
