In spite of the refusal of Aurelio Of Laurentiis, to the Napoli does not go him to remain another that sell to Kalidou Koulibaly in the market of summer. The player will fulfil 31 years the next 30 June and considers that his stage in the south of Italy already has culminated, by which the Italian press has filtered the request of the central to the managerial 'partenopea' to leave him go out in this market of passes if it arrives a good offer by his traspaso.

With agreement until June of 2023, to the group directed by Luciano Spalletti will come him well the near of 35 million euros that could leave in box the traspaso of the Senegalese. The FC Barcelona is one of the clubs interested in the defender, although no the only in 'career'. Juventus, Inter, Chelsea and Tottenham follow closely the case, although the player seems to bend more by the option to play in another league after eight seasons in the Series To.

Koulibaly Arrived to the Saint Stadium Paolo (today Diego Armando Maradona) in July of 2014 pertinent of the Metz in return of almost 8 million euros. Today, his value of market in Transfermarkt is of the 45 'kilos', with which will finish being a big signing for the napolitanos if it leaves this year. In total, the central has contested 313 parties with the celestial T-shirt, converting 13 goals and 6 assistances and being indisputable headline in each season with the club.

The option of the Barça is the ideal for Koulibaly, although for the moment there is not a formal negotiation between the clubs. The complex financial situation blaugrana does that the directive descarte the first option suggested by Xavi Hernández to reinforce the saga: Jules Koundé, because of his cost (near of 65 'kilos'). Even the 35 millions that would cost Kalidou would be too much for the club, by which the most reasonable option aims to include to Miralem Pjanić like part of payment, an agreement that would leave satisfied to both parts. However, for now there is not at all agreed.

The Tottenham and Chelsea will bid strong by Koulibaly

Considering the economic subject, the Barça is clearly in disadvantage. The priority of Chelsea is to buy to Koundé (already tried it the past year) and, perhaps, to another central in front of the course of Antonio Rudiger and the imminent exit of Andreas Christensen to the Barcelona. In the case of the Tottenham, Antonio Conte would be loved to add to Koulibaly, to the one who knows well after his experience in the Series To and is very known that the 'spurs' will look for to reinforce all his lines for the 2022-23. Like this the things, the future of the Senegalese seems very far of Napoli, but no longer so near of Catalonia.
