According to Calciomercato, Napoli centre-back Kalidou Koulibaly is not keen on joining Everton despite manager Carlo Ancelotti’s desire to reunite with him.
The Toffees are willing to table a huge bid for his signature, but the Senegal international wants to join a club that play regular Champions League football, and that has handed Liverpool an edge in the race.
According to Le10Sport, the Reds are actually in pole position to sign Koulibaly as boss Jurgen Klopp reckons he will be the perfect partner for Virgil van Dijk.
Real Madrid, Barcelona, Paris Saint-Germain, Manchester United and Newcastle United have also been linked with the Napoli star, with the Magpies said to be willing to offer him €12 million-a-year, but their inability to provide Champions League football rules them out.
