Kalidou Koulibaly has already reached personal terms with Manchester City of up to € 12 m a season.
It is expected to be worth €9 m per season in advance, plus up to €3 m in performance-related bonuses.
This will practically double his existing salary at the Stadio San Paolo.
Now the club has to make a deal with Napoli. There are several rumors that Manchester City will increase its bid to Napoli in the next few days to about €70 m plus bonuses.
President Aurelio De Laurentiis is prepared to lower his initial €80 m demand for a price of € 75 m with add-ons.
But, according to the transfer expert at Sportitalia, Alfredo Pedullà, the defender himself has already approved a contract proposal from Manchester City.
Meanwhile, the first candidate to replace Koulibaly at Napoli is the current Arsenal centre-back Sokratis Papastathopoulos.
