That works out at just over £160k-a-week.
Napoli though are claimed to be demanding £34m for their star centre-back.
But the Serie A outfit could be forced into a sale this summer with just 12 months left to run on Koulibaly’s current contract.
Barcelona are also understood to be interested in a swoop for the Senegalese international.
