Over the past few weeks, there have been claims Liverpool are looking at Napoli’s Kalidou Koulibaly.
Late on Wednesday’s evening, Le10 Sport came up with an update stating the Reds have the plan of partnering the Senegal international with Virgil van Dijk at Anfield.
It’s claimed the Serie A club and the centre-back have received two proposals and one of them is from the Merseyside club.
Jürgen Klopp’s side are believed to be in ‘pole position’ for the 28-year-old and they are willing to offer him a ‘very good salary’.
A move to Liverpool will see the former Genk man have an opportunity to play in the Champions League, which remains a ‘decisive criteria’ for him to change clubs.
Koulibaly’s current deal with the Naples club runs down in 2023 and the report adds Gennaro Gattuso’s side hope to get a fee of €100m.
The chances of Napoli receiving such a high figure for the player look slim, especially after the global health crisis impacting football finances.
