Napoli to lock down Koulibaly

By Football Italia staff

Napoli look set to lose Gonzalo Higuain, but are closer to extending Kalidou Koulibaly’s contract despite Chelsea and Everton interest.

The centre-back is the subject of a bidding war between the Premier League sides that has reportedly reached €50m.

Despite that, Napoli have been adamant they won’t sell the Senegal international this summer.

Sky Sport Italia claim this afternoon that K2 is now open to negotiating a contract extension.

There is no deal in place yet, but talks have been able to lay down the basic structure of a new agreement.
