An exciting treat cooked over a slow English Italian fire. Here we are talking about Kalido Coulibaly and the replacement of the Napoli jersey by Manchester City.
The trusted French newspaper France Football revealed that Manchester City had reached a personal agreement with the Napoli defender Coulibaly to join the team.
City completed their deal with the player, but have so far not formally moved to complete the deal with Napoli, according to the French daily.
Coulibaly wants to leave Napoli and join Manchester City, but at the same time he will not enter into a clash with his Italian club and will await the completion of the agreement between the two parties, according to France Football.
Calido’s fate is now completely in the hands of Napoli’s president Orielio de Laurentiis, who previously turned down an offer from Chelsea for the player.
Last summer, De Laurentiis asked for more than 80 million euros to leave Coulibaly, an amount that Manchester United and Paris Saint-Germain had not paid at the time, to continue the player with Napoli.
Will City now be able to reach an agreement with the Italian club after the agreement with the player? This is what the next few days will reveal.
The relationship between Manchester City and Naples is not in the best of cases, after the Italian club preferred to sell its player Jorginho to Chelsea instead of City, despite the agreement with the latter.
The 29-year-old has been in Naples for 6 years, since he arrived in 2014 from Genk, Belgium, with a sum of 7.75 million euros, and his current contract runs until the summer of 2023.
Coulibaly participated this season in 34 games in all the championships.
Coulibaly has played for Napoli in 246 games so far, during which he has scored 10 goals and has scored 5 more goals.
Manchester City are looking to bolster their defense with a new deal after signing Bournemouth defender Nathan Aky.
