Liverpool have reportedly taken the lead in the race to sign Napoli defender Kalidou Koulibaly.
Napoli are willing to cash in on the centre-back this summer, and the Merseyside giants are at the head of the queue to sign him in a €50 million deal.
The Senegal international has been linked with a move away from Partenopei in recent years, but the defender has remained with the Italian outfit.

The Red Devils have fairly frequently been linked with the Senegal international in recent transfer windows, only for Napoli’s world-record fee to effectively rule out any deal.
Manchester United and Real Madrid are likely to miss out on the signing of Kalidou Koulibaly with Liverpool said to be in advanced negotiations with Napoli for the centre-back.
The 28-year-old defender has been constantly linked with a move to Premier League for a number of years and reports have recently emerged that Partenopei are willing to sanction his sale.
Manchester United have reportedly taken the lead in the race to complete a deal for Napoli centre-back Kalidou Koulibaly, according to Italian media outlet Il Mattino, as quoted by the Daily Star.
The Red Devils are leading the race to sign their long-term target after years of speculation.
Manchester United have allegedly earmarked Napoli centre-back Kalidou Koulibaly as their number one summer transfer targets.
The 28-year-old defender has regularly been linked with a move to Manchester United in recent years, but they instead signed Harry Maguire last summer as they made him the most expensive defender of all time.
