Napoli’s assessment of Manchester City’s goal Kalidou koulibaly has led Pep Guardiola to consider alternative players to fill his defensive void, says The Guardio.

Consequently, Sevilla FC Diego Carlos and Atlético de Madrid Jose gimenez have caught the attention of Guardiola. The Guardian report states that if Napoli fails to reduce its demand for Koulibaly, City will instead bid for Carlos or Giménez.
However, there is a downside, both players come with strong release clauses. Giménez’s is said to be 109.8 million pounds, while Carlos’s is said to be 68.7 million pounds.
