Liverpool 'leading Man United and Real Madrid' in chase for Kalidou Koulibaly but Napoli 'are unwilling to lower their asking price of £89m'

Liverpool 'are leading Manchester United and Real Madrid' in the race for Kalidou Koulibaly - but Napoli 'will not accept less than £89million' for the defender.

The Serie A club are willing to entertain offers for the 28-year-old Senegal centre-back when the transfer window finally opens this summer.

But they will not consider any offers below their £89m asking price, which is already a reduction on the £100m plus they wanted 12 months ago.
