Manchester City 'could offer Nicolas Otamendi and Oleksandr Zinchenko to Napoli in £65m swap deal for star defender Kalidou Koulibaly' as Pep Guardiola looks to bolster his back line

Manchester City will test Napoli's resolve over defender Kalidou Koulibaly by offering them Nicolas Otamendi and Oleksandr Zinchenko in exchange, according to reports.

The 29-year-old is set to be hot property this summer with City joining rivals Manchester United in keeping tabs on him, but any interested party can expect to shed out a hefty sum to convince the Naples side to sell.

Koulibaly is considered as one of the best centre backs in the world and has enjoyed a stand-out few seasons in Serie A. But as he edges towards his thirties, time could be running out for the Senegalese star to turn out for a big club and win silverware.
