Barcelona are reportedly willing to meet an asking price of £88m for Napoli defender Kalidou Koulibaly.

Barcelona have reportedly decided that they are willing to secure the signing of Napoli defender Kalidou Koulibaly.

The 27-year-old has established himself as one of the key players at the Serie A club, with the centre-back netting eight times in 170 appearances since 2014.

The form of the Senegal international has led to interest from all over Europe, and Napoli are said to have set an asking price of £88m in an attempt to keep hold of the player.

According to Corriere dello Sport, Barcelona are prepared to meet that valuation in a bid to strengthen at the back with just one clean sheet being kept in their last eight matches in all competitions.

Napoli are unlikely to entertain a sale during the season with Koulibaly possessing a deal until 2023, but Barcelona could be prepared to wait until the summer.

Koulibaly only penned his latest contract extension last month.
