Hello Ed’s and reds, saw a report that we have had a £50m bid turn down by Napoli for koulibaly, and the Napoli owner wants £90+ million for him! Any truth in tjo.

{Ed002's Note - I am not aware of any bid from Liverpool for Kalidou Koulibaly nor even an approach to discuss the player with Napoli. However Napoli are open to a high offer in the summer (that would be the desired circa €100M minimum or perhaps €80M would be acceptable). It is a lot of money for a 29 year old - and Napoli are already in discussions over his replacement.}

Cheers Ed. 29 wow didn’t realise he was that old.
It would be an odd move to pay that for a 29 year old I agree 👍🏼.

{Ed002's Note - A very good player but at the point where Napoli will cash in and bring in a much younger player and do it all over again.}

Suppose we could throw Lovren in the deal and get £10 off the price 😉.

{Ed002's Note - They have a replacement lined up.}

It’s just reporters having cabin fever and making up even more ridiculous things than usual.

Liverpool won’t pay that price. Sure someone like ManU will pay - see Maguire example!

I think we’ll look for a left footed centre back who can cover left back as well if we do buy a centre back.

I don't get these Koulibaly rumours at all. Gomez is too good to be dropped. Agree with 6times, leftsided CD who is comfortable at LB makes more sense.

Agreed Andy, we looked better last night with Gomez and VVD than we did against Everton with Lovren/ Matip and VVD. I honestly think we'd be wasting money going large on that position at this stage.
