It’s claimed that Manchester City want to swap defender Eric Garcia with Napoli to convince them to let Kalidou Koulibaly leave this summer.
Sky Sport Italia journalist Gianluca Di Marzio reports that after missing out on Lille defender Gabriel, the Partenopei continue their hunt for a centre-back.
President Aurelio De Laurentiis acknowledged that the Senegalese defender would leave this summer.
On the other hand, Manchester City said it was one of the few clubs that could afford the player.
The report claims versatile Garcia could become available to the Azzurri and included in a potential deal to persuade Napoli to sell Koulibaly, who can also play at the right.
Garcia transferred from Barcelona’s academy to Manchester City in July 2017 and was recently elevated to the first team at Etihad Stadium, playing 23 times for the Citizens.
