Manchester United, Liverpool And Manchester City Told To Break The Bank For Napoli’s Kalidou Koulibaly

Napoli have named their price for the club’s most prized asset, Kalidou Koulibaly. And it is, in all frankness, stunningly outrageous.

I can only understand Napoli chairman Aurelio De Laurentiis has point-blankly insinuated that the centre-half isn’t for sale.

In a report by talkSPORT, which has been confirmed by Laurentiis, it will take an astonishing £100 million bid or his suitors can look elsewhere. A freaking £100 million bid! I tell you, there aren’t more than three clubs, maybe four who will be willing to shell out as much for one player at the moment.

Laurentiis can as well tell us again Koulibaly isn’t for sale. Well he has already, for the avoidance of doubt.

According to transfer fanatic Jim White, he will rather have his defensive partner Nikola Maksimovic talked up for transfer than the Senegalese.

Koulibaly turns 30 by the summer. Clearly, there isn’t any sell-on value in paying so much for his signature so what’s all the fuss? Maybe Laurentiis’s just bluffing.

Either way, Liverpool or any of the Manchester clubs will have to break the bank to get their man.
