According to le10sport.com in France and Spanish paper AS, Paris Saint-Germain are turning their focus elsewhere when it comes to defensive reinforcements, especially if Thiago Silva extends his stay at the club.

Liverpool are undoubtedly the favourites, as the Champions League holders and Premier League champions elect see him as the ideal partner for Virgil van Dijk.
They are also the club that Koulibaly would be excited about moving to, whereas he never seemed particularly eager to join Manchester United or PSG.
As for Newcastle United, their interest depends entirely on the takeover from Saudi investors.
