Napoli has assured clubs in pursuit of their central defender, Kalidou Koulibaly that he would be made available.

The Senegalese has been linked to Premier League Champions, Liverpool, and Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City.

The Serie A team initially demanded £90m for the 29-year old after an amount of £58m was rejected by the Gli Azzurris from Liverpool.

The Daily Telegraph on Monday reports that Napoli Koulibaly would be available for a move to the Premier League when they finalize a £70m deal for Lille forward Victor Osimhen.

It added, that Napoli would reduce their asking price for the defender to £70m once the signature of the Nigerian is secured.

Osimhen has been tipped to excel at Naples and the price value for Koulibaly when paid will enable Napoli to settle the French club for the players’ services. He is a player admired by Gennaro Gattuso and has been defined as to be a ‘superstar’ in Italy by Lile President, Gerard Lopez.

"For Victor, we had several offers.

"He asked me and I told him what I think was the ideal club for him,” Lopez told La Voix du Nord.

“Napoli is just below Juventus or Barcelona but is at the same level as Atletico Madrid. If he goes there, he will become their superstar.

“Having a city like Naples at your feet must be exciting for a footballer. Victor has the strength to perform under pressure."
