However, a recent report states that Real Madrid are also keen on the Senegalese star to replace Raphael Varane. The World Cup-winning defender has been touted to leave Bernabeu at the end of the season and even reported to be already given his farewell to his teammates. Koulibaly will become Los Blancos's priority if Varane decides to depart.
Napoli have reportedly slapped an eye-watering €150 million price tag to their most prized defender. Hence, teams with financial superpower would be the only one capable of prising the star away. Koulibaly has started nearly every matches for Napoli this season and known for his strength, pace, and aerial presence.
