Fans of Manchester City have been reacting to a post on Twitter, which relays reports that claim Kalidou Koulibaly is more interested in a move to England than a move to PSG.
According to reports in French publication Le10sport, Koulibaly is far from keen on a move to PSG, and would rather a move to England, with Manchester City and Manchester United both reportedly interested in the 28-year-old.
In reaction to the reports, which were relayed by Man City Xtra on Twitter, fans of the club have flocked to have their say on the matter, with many suggesting that the £50.4 million-rated centre-back is too old, while others have claimed that there are other centre-backs that City should be more interested in.
Should City make a move for Kalidou Koulibaly this summer?
Yes
No
Kalidou Koulibaly (28) has informed his entourage that he is 'not convinced' by a move to PSG, even if a substantial offer is made.
Koulibaly is more interested in England, with interest from #ManCity and Manchester United – staying in Italy is also an option.

Should be looking at centre backs like Skriniar, Konate, Upamecano, Gimenez and Dias.. Need someone with a good ten years ahead of them!

He’ll be already 29 in June
And buying for almost €60 million
Naah
We have defenders like Eric Garcia and can buy some young defenders— 8D Music (@8DMusic9) April 19, 2020
What do we think?
While Koulibaly does indeed turn 29 this June, his performances for Napoli have remained impressive this term.
Although this season the centre-back has been sidelined by multiple injuries, he has still averaged a respectable WhoScored match rating of 6.78 over his 15 Serie A appearances – while in the Champions League, his rating of 7.43 over six fixtures demonstrates how impressive the 28-year-old remains at the highest level that European football has to offer.
Despite this, should City make a move for the defender this summer, it would appear that their fanbase would not be overly pleased with the signing.
