CHELSEA are set to bag £25million for unwanted defender Kalidou Koulibaly after an offer from the Saudi League.
Koulibaly, 31, has agreed personal terms with Al-Hilal on a lucrative contract but a fee is yet to be agreed between the two clubs according to Goal.
Koulibaly signed from Napoli for £33m last season on a four year contract amid high expectations.
He had established himself as one of the finest defenders in the Serie A - making the league's team of the season on four occasions.
But a combination of poor form and upheaval at Chelsea saw the defender struggle to nail down a place in the side.

Koulibaly played just 23 times in the league for Chelsea last season and given his £162,000-a-week deal at the Bridge, his sale is seen as a priority.
He is one of three Chelsea players that look set to move to the Saudi league on mega-contracts.
Edouard Mendy, 31, and Hakim Ziyech, 30, will follow Koulibaly out of the exit door according to Sky Sports Italy's Gianluca Di Marzio.
Mendy looks set to join Saudi side Al-Ahli with Ziyech possibly linking up with Cristiano Ronaldo at Al-Nassr.

Fees are yet to be agreed between the clubs but representatives of the Saudi government are in London to make a deal happen.
Romelu Lukaku, 30, was offered the chance to join the Saudi league according to French outlet Foot Mercato, but turned down a £326,000-per-week contract because he wants to join Inter Milan.
Meanwhile another Chelsea player's move to the Saudi League looks set to be announced imminently.
N'golo Kante, 32, will be announced as an Al-Ittihad player on a contract worth £375,000-a-week shortly.
