Koulibaly is reportedly one step closer to moving to the Premier League. City will put 70 million euros on the table, a sum that finally seems to satisfy De Laurentiis' demands.
The tug of war between City and Napoli for Koulibaly seems to be coming to an end. According to 'La Gazzetta Dello Sport', the Italian club will accept the 70 million offer from City.
It all started with a 55 million offer, and a loud laugh in response from Napoli. City were upping their bid, but nothing seemed to satisfy De Laurentiis.
Manchester City then threw a wager: in no case would they pay the 80 million that Napoli demand and the situation suddenly changed. Napoli understood that City were serious and that for being greedy they could be left with nothing. Well, with a CB.
Now the saga seems destined to be completed, if we pay attention to the Italian press, for 70 million, a middle ground between the demands of one and the possibilities of the other.
