English papers claim Manchester United are prepared to pay €100m for Kalidou Koulibaly, but that won’t be enough for the Napoli defender.
According to The Times, senior officials spoke to Napoli and were quoted a price-tag of £90m (around €100m).
However, that is considerably lower than the figure floated in the Italian media, which is at least €120m.
That would be for a summer transfer, as any offer to take the Senegal international in January would be doomed to failure.

Coach Carlo Ancelotti has Napoli in second place in Serie A behind Juventus, while next week they could book their spot in the Champions League Round of 16.
If the Partenopei were to sell any of their main players during the mid-season transfer window, it would be Elseid Hysaj, who is a target for Chelsea.
This is because his performances under Ancelotti have not been at the same standard as with Maurizio Sarri, but above all Faouzi Ghoulam has recovered after 13 months out with a knee injury.
Ghoulam made his comeback in yesterday’s 4-0 win over Frosinone, providing two assists for Arkadiusz Milik.
