Inter centre-back Milan Skriniar is emerging as the primary PSG transfer target, after they refused to pay over €110m for Napoli’s Kalidou Koulibaly.

The Parisians need to find reinforcements in defence, with Thiago Silva and now also 18-year-old Tanguy Kouassi leaving as free agents this summer.

Paris Saint-Germain are reportedly pulling out of the race for Napoli defender Kalidou Koulibaly, as his price-tag remains over €100m.

According to Le Parisien, the Ligue 1 champions have decided he is too expensive as a replacement for Thiago Silva.

This comes after Napoli director Cristiano Giuntoli warned the COVID-19 crisis would affect only some transfers, but not others, as Koulibaly’s valuation remains intact.

That is from €100m to €120m for a club outside Italy for the Senegal international centre-back.

Ex-Chelsea and France defender Frank Lebeouf has warned Napoli’s Kalidou Koulibaly not to join Manchester United if he wants to win trophies.

“I will never ask him to go to Manchester United for many reasons,” he told ESPN FC.

According to Il Secolo XIX newspaper, Genoa have already decided they will activate the €10m option to buy at the end of the season.

According to Il Mattino newspaper, Napoli defender Kalidou Koulibaly would prefer PSG to Manchester United, Liverpool or Tottenham Hotspur.

The Senegal international was born and raised in France, while he has several real estate properties in Paris, claims the Italian paper.

It’s reported that if he were to leave the Stadio San Paolo, then Koulibaly would rather move to Paris Saint-Germain than any of the Premier League sides who are chasing him.

Paris Saint-Germain are back in the running for Napoli defender Kalidou Koulibaly, despite reports Manchester United were the favourites.

According to Calciomercato.com, contacts between the two clubs have intensified over the last couple of days.

PSG had almost ruled themselves out of the race, as did Barcelona, leaving Manchester United as the most likely candidates.

However, it’s reported Leonardo was just getting other priorities sorted out first and is now ready to ramp up negotiations for the Senegal international centre-back.

Napoli will reportedly sell Kalidou Koulibaly, Allan, Arkadiusz Milik and Faouzi Ghoulam to raise €200m in fresh transfer funds.

That means selling some of the players who are considered to be past their prime, although Dries Mertens will remain after agreeing a new extended deal.

Koulibaly is wanted by Manchester United, PSG and Liverpool with a price-tag of at least €90m.
