According to Italian journalist Giacomo Iacobellis, Barcelona will introduce Koulibaly amid a tight budget in the summer transfer window. His agent Ramadan has offered Barcelona the chance to sign Napoli veteran Koulibaly for 20 million euros.
Koulibaly has been one of the best defenders in Serie A since joining Napoli from Genk in July 2014.
The 31-year-old has been a staple of Napoli's defense for eight years and has become one of the leading lights at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium over the past few years.
So far, the Senegalese defender has played 317 times for Napoli, scoring 14 goals and contributing 7 assists.
However, Koulibaly's long-term future has put the Serie A giants in a dilemma, as he has only one year left on his contract with the club, a situation that has attracted the attention of Barcelona.
Barcelona are preparing to strengthen their defense, and Xavi is keen to acquire Kounde's services in the summer transfer window, but Sevilla will not sell the France international for a transfer fee of less than 60 million euros, and they need to operate more Cost-effective transfer.
Barcelona will receive an income by activating the second financial lever, but they still need to balance their books and expenses. Therefore, Barcelona hopes to complete a cost-effective transfer in the summer transfer window.
One of the financial options for Barcelona is to sign Koulibaly, and agent Ramadani has offered them the opportunity to sign him for 20 million euros. The veteran Napoli defender has been on Barcelona's transfer list for several months, with recent reports suggesting the Spanish giants are close to signing Koulibaly.
According to reports, Koulibaly is very eager to move to Barcelona and he is ready to move from Napoli to Camp Nou. Considering that the Spanish giants will have the opportunity to acquire his services for 20 million euros, the Serie A giants are already ready to bite the asking price.
How Barcelona will respond to Koulibaly's offer and whether Napoli will sell the veteran defender for 20 million euros in the summer transfer window remains to be seen.
