Rumors: Koulibaly wanted, Coutinho alternatives named, and Barcelona to rival Man City for Julian Weigl

Today’s rumors start with Mundo Deportivo who report that Barcelona are keen on Napoli defender Kalidou Koulibaly.

The Blaugrana apparently watched Koulibaly in action during Napoli’s 1-0 win over Roma, but there is small problem, namely that he may cost around €60 million.

There was also interest in the defender from Chelsea and Juventus last summer, but Napoli may be more open to selling next year.

Julian Brandt or Max Meyer instead of Coutinho

Over at Sport, the talk is of who Barcelona could go for if they fail to land Philippe Coutinho, and two names are mentioned - Julian Brandt and Max Meyer.
