Kalidou Koulibaly is in line to take the captaincy at Napoli.

The Azzurri need to find a new captain as Lorenzo Insigne prepares to leave for Toronto FC at the end of this season.

Il Corriere dello Sport says Napoli management have settled on Koulibaly as the club's next captain.

Dries Mertens was also considered, but the decision fell the Senegal international's way.

Napoli intend to extend Koulibaly's contract ahead of making him new club captain.
