Napoli Could Sell Kalidou Koulibaly if They Sign Victor Osimhen

Napoli could sell Kalidou Koulibaly to a Premier League club in the summer transfer window if they sign Lille forward Victor Osimhen.

According to the Telegraph’s Mike McGrath, Napoli are set to spend £70 million on Osimhen, which would open the door for the 29-year-old Senegalese centre-back to leave the San Paolo.

Napoli and Lille are currently £20 million apart in their valuations of the Nigerian winger, but it is expected that they will reach a deal that will bring Osimhen to southern Italy.

Before the coronavirus pandemic impacted football clubs’ spending power, Napoli were reportedly going to demand £100 million to sell Koulibaly, but are now likely to accept an offer in the region of £70 million, according to the Independent’s Miguel Delaney.

Manchester United and Manchester City have both been linked with Koulibaly, who was a key part of the Napoli team that defeated Juventus in the Coppa Italia final in June.
