Koulibaly is contracted to Napoli until the summer of 2023 and is keen to find a more ambitious project. It’s thought he’d welcome the possibility of moving to Barcelona, and Napoli’s economic problems means that they could be open to a sale. Napoli are currently fifth in Serie A, two points behind Milan in fourth.

Aurelio De Laurentiis, Napoli’s president, has lowered his initial demands to between €50m and €60m. As well as Barcelona, Manchester City and Manchester United are also credited with an interest in the defender. Barcelona are thought to be open to including Samuel Umtiti in any potential deal given they don’t see a place for him at Camp Nou.
