Jurgen Klopp has spoken to Kalidou Koulibaly over a potential move to Liverpool, according to reports.
The German manager is reported to have spoken to Koulibaly over the phone and spent time laying out his plans for the next year to 18 months to the Napoli defender.
He detailed how Koulibaly would fit into his defence alongside Virgil van Dijk.
The 28-year-old has been targeted by the likes of Manchester United, PSG, Barcelona and Real Madrid in recent months.
But according to French outlet Le10 Sport, Liverpool have stolen a march on them with the call – with the defender flattered by the interest.
