Manchester City have struck terms with Napoli for Kalidou Koulibaly.
According to Italian journalist Alfredo Pedulla, it is City who will sign the Senegal international.
Chelsea director Marina Granovskaia has been in constant contact with his agent over a possible switch.
But it looks as though Koulibaly will instead choose Pep Guardiola at City.
Reports earlier this week suggested the Etihad side were ready to splash out £63million for Koulibaly.
