Genoa have decided to take up their €10m option to buy Adama Soumaoro from Lille, but he could be on the move again towards Napoli.

The centre-back arrived on loan in January and made an immediate impact at Marassi, including one goal in four Serie A appearances before the lockdown.

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.

According to Sky Sport Italia, the Partenopei believe they have come the end of an era and want to rebuild under Gennaro Gattuso, offering him a longer contract.

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.

Multiple Italian sources claim Manchester United are the favourites to sign Napoli defender Kalidou Koulibaly for €90m, ahead of PSG, Liverpool and Newcastle United.

French papers had already suggested Paris Saint-Germain were pulling out, while Barcelona and Real Madrid are also looking at other targets.

French newspaper Le Parisien claims PSG are leaving Kalidou Koulibaly to Manchester United, as they feel Napoli’s asking price is excessive.

The defender is expected to leave the Stadio San Paolo this summer, as at the age of 29, it’s one of the last opportunities for the club to truly cash in on their most valuable player.

Barcelona, Real Madrid, Manchester City and Newcastle United were also linked, but the favourites were always Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester United.

Giorgio Chiellini recalls the time Napoli rival Kalidou Koulibaly ‘melted my heart’ after his own goal against Juventus earlier this season.

Chiellini courted controversy for his no-holds-barred criticism of Felipe Melo and Mario Balotelli in his new autobiography, ‘Io, Giorgio’.

However, he depicted Kalidou in a far-more flattering light as he also admitted his surprise at receiving a message from Inter icon Javier Zanetti following his ACL injury.

PSG and Manchester United reportedly backed off Napoli defender Kalidou Koulibaly, leaving Liverpool as clear favourites ahead of Newcastle United.

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.

Manchester United were also put off by the €100m asking price, leaving only two Premier League clubs as real contenders for the Senegal international.

Napoli defender Kalidou Koulibaly has been targeted by Tottenham and Everton, but the Senegal international will reportedly wait for Europe's giants.

The Partenopei patron Aurelio De Laurentiis wants €100m for the 28-year-old but might have to lower the asking price as the centre-half seems set on leaving the San Paolo.

Teams from the Premier League are reportedly starting to knock on the door and the Toffees coach Carlo Ancelotti has been linked with a reunion at Goodison Park in recent months.

Newcastle United’s interest in Kalidou Koulibaly is real and Napoli value the defender at €80m, reports Sky Sports.

Links between Newcastle and Koulibaly first surfaced in France last week, and Sky has now doubled down on the speculation.

As per the broadcaster, the Magpies will swoop for the 29-year-old if their Saudi takeover goes through.
