Man City eye Napoli’s Koulibaly in summer of 2020

English Premier League outfit Manchester City have identified Italian Serie A giants Napoli’s veteran defender Kalidou Koulibaly as their primary target next season, as per Goal.com cited by Calciomercato.com.

The defending Premier League champions are struggling on the defensive front after a number of injuries in the early part of the season.

The problems became even bigger as City manager Pep Guardiola did not buy a replacement in the recently concluded summer transfer window for Vincent Kompany who has left the club and joined Belgian outfit R.S.C. Anderlecht as a player-manager.

However, as per the latest report, the former Barcelona manager have identified the 28-year-old as the number of target in the summer of 2020 to bolster their defensive unit.

Koulibaly has been with the Naples-based club since 2014 when he joined them from a Beligan club Genk for a reported fee of £6.5 million.

Since then, Koulibaly has represented Gli Azzurri in 158 league matches where he has scored 10 goals as well.
