After three years of endless speculation, Kalidou Koulibaly finally looks set for a transfer to the Premier League - but not to Manchester.
Linked with both Manchester City and Manchester United in recent summers, Koulibaly has become almost a mythical centre-back for both clubs. Given so much hype, predominantly by Italian media, that he was presented as the player guaranteed to fix the centre-back issues of both Manchester clubs.
However, in 2019, United signed Harry Maguire and City did not consider Koulibaly to replace Vincent Kompany. A year later, and Koulibaly was a target, but Napoli insisted on a high price, so the Blues worked behind the scenes to sign Ruben Dias instead.
