‘Napoli are ripping us off’ – City fans react as Koulibaly’s move to the Etihad seem increasingly slim

Manchester City Fans have been reacting to a post on Twitter, which relays reports to yet another update on Senegalese defender Kalidou Koulibaly’s potential move to the Etihad.

The Citizens have been negotiating with Napoli for several weeks over their asking price for the Senegalese, with Aurelio de Laurentiis looking to make at least €90m after turning down €100m last summer.

City are reported to already have personal terms with the player and are now just looking to agree on a deal with Napoli. It is understood City had offered as much as £63m, leaving the two clubs far apart in terms of the final fee.

According to The Sun, Napoli agreeing a deal for Koulibaly seem increasingly slim, with the two clubs miles apart on their valuation.

In the eyes of Napoli head coach Gennaro Gattuso, Koulibaly is likely to stay with them unless City or any other club can meet the asking price of £80m whicH the Citizens believe is unrealistic for a 29-year-old.

I know it’s Sun, but is Koulibaly the only centre back in the world that would fit in our team. Why aren’t we interested in someone else?

We need to pursue other players, this player is not worth £80 million

Also Upamecano doesn’t fit the brief, City want a experienced leader who’s a Right footed CB who can fit City’s style of play. I actually think if Koulibaly isn’t obtainable look at Hummels at least he fits the profile more.
