Napoli name their price for defender Kalidou Koulibaly

Napoli owner Aurelio De Laurentiis has played down speculation of defender Kalidou Koulibaly departing this January, slapping a massive £100 million price tag on his head.

The Senegal international joined Napoli from Genk in 2014. Since then, he has become one of the world’s most sought after centre-backs following several impressive seasons for Gli Azzurri.

The 29-year-old has consistently been linked with moves away from the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona, with several of England’s biggest clubs said to be interested in securing his services. Liverpool’s injury crisis at the heart of defence only helped to reignite these rumours.
