Liverpool lead the race for Napoli centre-back Kalidou Koulibaly, according to a report.

Liverpool are reportedly at the head of the queue for Napoli centre-back Kalidou Koulibaly.

The 29-year-old has been strongly linked with a move away from his Italian club and will allegedly be allowed to leave this summer if his €100m (£90.5m) asking price is met.

Manchester United and Manchester City have both been linked with the Senegal international, but according to Tuttomercatoweb, Liverpool lead the race for the powerful defender.

The report claims that the European champions, who have missed out on a deal for RB Leipzig's Timo Werner, are 'above all' the competition for his signature.

However, Napoli's substantial asking price for the Senegalese could ultimately price Jurgen Klopp's side out of a move due to the financial impact of the coronavirus pandemic.

Koulibaly still has three years left to run on his contract at Stadio San Paolo.
