Southampton are reportedly considering tabling an £8.5million offer for Napoli defender Kalidou Koulibaly.
The Daily Mail is reporting the Saints have identified Koulibaly as a potential transfer target and have held internal discussions about making a move for the 24-year-old before the summer window closes.
Koulibaly could be allowed to leave the Stadio San Paolo after new boss Maurizio Sarri recently signed Romanian international Vlad Chiriches from Tottenham.
The French central defender made 27 Serie A appearances for Napoli after joining from Belgian club last summer.
