“Not scared to get stuck in” – Man City battle for €85m stalwart likened to Maldini

According to Italian outlet La Repubblica, Manchester City are currently in a battle with three clubs including bitter rivals Manchester United for Napoli stalwart Kalidou Koulibaly – but the Sky Blues will have to pay €85 million for his signature.

As per this report, Premier League clubs are currently ‘leading the race’ for Koulibaly, with Ligue 1 champions Paris-Saint Germain also in the hunt but lingering behind the two Manchester clubs.

Links to the Senegalese defender could come as a nice surprise to some Sky Blues supporters, especially considering our leaky back line and consistent injuries to star defensive asset Aymeric Laporte.
