Liverpool has reportedly set its sights on Kalidou Koulibaly, while the Premier League leader could lose out to Manchester United on another target.
Koulibaly has regularly been linked with a move away from Napoli, where he has developed into one of the world's best defenders. Could a Virgil van Dijk-Koulibaly central defensive pairing be on the cards at Anfield?
TOP STORY – LIVERPOOL TARGETS KOULIBALY
Liverpool is targeting Napoli defender Koulibaly and contacts have already been made, according to Tuttomercatoweb . The parties are due to speak again in the coming weeks, according to the report, with Koulibaly's asking price likely to drop from EUR 100million (GBP 87.1m) due to the coronavirus pandemic.
The report also says Liverpool would likely sell defender Joel Matip if it landed Koulibaly.
