Manchester City will reportedly have to pay £65million to bring Kalidou Koulibaly to the Etihad Stadium.
The Napoli centre-back is a top transfer target for Pep Guardiola this summer as he plans to splash the cash, as revealed by Sportsmail this week.
And the price tag they have been quoted by the Italian club is lower than the original £80m valuation, according to The Mirror.
Guardiola is desperate to find a reliable centre-back partner for Aymeric Laporte and has identified the 29-year-old as a priority signing.
