Manchester City may have received a significant boost in the pursuit for the Napoli defender Kalidou Koulibaly.
What’s the word?
There has been talk in recent months that the Senegalese colossus could be allowed to leave Naples after six years in Southern Italy.
Koulibaly featured in a reserve team game for his side as their preparations towards the new Serie A campaign got underway yesterday evening.
This seemed like an unusual move for manager Gennaro Gattuso to make seeing as the first-team have relied on the Senegal international defensively in recent years.
