Liverpool reportedly want to sign the 28-year-old Senegal centre-back.
Kalidou Koulibaly has refused to rule out a move away from Napoli, amid speculation about a switch to Liverpool.
According to Il Mattino in Italy, Liverpool have already made contact with the 28-year-old, valued at £100 million.
The Senegal international impressed for his country in Sunday’s 2-0 win Africa Cup of Nations win over Tanzania.
And speaking to Goal.com after the win, Koulibaly refused to commit his future to the Italian giants, cryptically adding ‘We’ll see what happens’.
“I don’t want to talk about my future today, I prefer to talk about Senegal. I’m relaxed, I want to focus on the Afcon and after that return to Napoli and we’ll see what happens.
“The most important thing now is to win with Senegal.”
Koulibaly, a centre-back, impressed with his range of passing in the AFCON win yesterday and if Jurgen Klopp was watching, he might well ramp up his interest.
The Reds aren’t expected to make any bank-breaking transfers this summer but, if someone of Koulibaly’s class was to become available then it’d be a shame if Klopp didn’t go for him.
Liverpool might be the best in Europe, but they’ll have a hard time dethroning Manchester City in the Premier League without reinforcements this summer.
