Koulibaly agent set for second Napoli summit about Man City push

The agent of Napoli defender Kalidou Koulibaly is set for more talks with club president Aurelio de Laurentiis about Manchester City's interest.

City have informed Fali Ramadani they want to sign the Senegal international and have intimated an initial willingness to pay €65m for the defender.

A new meeting, says Corriere dello Sport, will be held over the weekend in Capri between Ramadani and De Laurentiis.

City's opening offer falls short of De Laurentiis' valuation and Ramadani will use the new summit to seek answers about what it would take for him to sell.

Despite their deal for former Bournemouth defender Nathan Ake, City are also keen on Koulibaly, who they see as the ideal successor for former captain Vincent Kompany.
