Spanish press sources reported that Barcelona has placed Khalido Koulibaly as one of the main candidates to replace team captain Gerard Pique, and that Barca is ready to add players in the deal for the Senegalese defender.<\/p>\n
Barcelona is currently negotiating with the Italian Napoli administration in order to agree to sell their defender Khalido Koulibaly to the Catalan team.<\/p>\n
According to Sky Sports, Barcelona has set the amount it wants to pay for the inclusion of Napoli star Kalidou Koulibaly, which is 30 million euros, with the expiry of the Partenopi defender’s contract on June 30, 2023.<\/p>\n
Barcelona is working at that time to renew its team for the next season and identify the appropriate names to raise the quality of coach Xavi Hernandez’s team, and it is clear that the Blaugrana wants to improve the back line for the next season.<\/p>\n
In this context, the Catalan newspaper Sport reported that there are a number of names nominated to support the defense line, and one of them is Senegalese Khalido Koulibaly, who has been on Barcelona’s agenda for a long time.<\/p>\n
According to the Spanish newspaper, Barcelona also proposed to Napoli five players to make a reciprocal deal with Koulibaly to choose from, including Dest, Longlet, Umtiti, Depay, Pjanic.<\/p>\n
Barcelona are encouraged to take a step towards the inclusion of Koulibaly, especially with the end of his contract with the Italian southern club, and believe that an offer of 30 million euros will be enough to convince Napoli to sell him.<\/p>\n
Barcelona intends to submit an offer to Napoli in the coming days or weeks, and the Catalan club does not expect a stubborn attitude from Napoli owner Aurelio de Laurentiis as always, as if he fails to renew with Koulibaly he will be open to the idea of \u200b\u200bselling him.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
