PSG have dropped out of the race for Liverpool target Kalidou Koulibaly, according to Le Parisien.
Liverpool have reportedly drawn up an offer for the Napoli defender already, with Jurgen Klopp’s side eager to bring him in, according to Le 10 Sport.
And it could be that Liverpool’s chances of landing Koulibaly have just increased.
The powerful defender was wanted by PSG, but the French champions have decided that he is too expensive for them.
Liverpool may now have less competition for the signature of Koulibaly, who is believed to be valued at £90 million (Le 10 Sport).
Whether Liverpool will pay that sort of fee remains to be seen, but he looks to be an interesting option.
If Klopp’s side could partner Koulibaly with Virgil van Dijk they would certainly have a fearsome defensive pairing.
Koulibaly is regarded as one of the best defenders in the world, and Liverpool would be extremely difficult to break down if the Senegal international was to move to Anfield.
