"Liverpool" leads negotiations for expensive successor to V. Van Dijk © „Reuters“

„Liverpool“ team is actively looking for players on the market, seeking a replacement for defender Virgil Van Dijk who suffered a serious leg injury. According to journalist Fabio Santini, the English champions have set their sights on „Napoli“ veteran Kalidou Koulibaly. It is reported that „Liverpool“ has already made a 75 million euro offer for the 29-year-old Senegalese. „Napoli“ president Aurelio De Laurentiis demanded such a sum for their player, so negotiations may not take long. Previously, PSG, Man City, and Man Utd showed interest in buying K. Koulibaly, but none of them were willing to pay the high price for the African. The experienced footballer has been playing in „Serie A“ since 2014, when „Napoli“ bought his contract from „Genk“ club for 7.2 million euros.
