Bayern Munich ‘table £39m bid for Koulibaly
Bayern Munich have tabled a £39million offer for Napoli centre back Kalidou Koulibaly in a bid to find a partner to new signing Dayot Upamecano.
Koulibaly has been linked with moves to both Manchester clubs and is one of the most coveted defenders in Europe.
The 29-year-old stopper has made the Serie A team of the year four seasons in a row, won Serie A best defender and last season won a Coppa Italia in his 271 matches for Napoli.
According to Tuttosport, Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis and Koulibaly’s representative Fali Ramadani met to discuss Bayern’s offer for the 44-cap international.

The reigning Bundesliga and European champions confirmed the £38.5m signing of RB Leipzig centre half Dayot Upamecano last month, set to be completed in July.
