Spanish media reports reveal that Barcelona is considering signing the strong Senegalese defender Kalidou Koulibaly for a "bargain" price relative to his significant technical and physical abilities. Sport newspaper stated that Koulibaly, a defender for Napoli, has been offered to Barcelona for around 20 million euros.
Koulibaly (31 years old) has recently been rumored to strengthen Barcelona's defense, which has underperformed in recent seasons. The source confirmed that Napoli is looking to sell Koulibaly during the current transfer window, rather than losing him for free next summer when his contract with the Italian club expires.
The experienced defender is seeking a new challenge in La Liga after playing for Metz in France, Genk in Belgium, and then Napoli, where he joined in 2014. It is noteworthy that Koulibaly has represented Senegal in 62 matches and played a crucial role in the team's triumph at the Africa Cup of Nations earlier this year.
