Hype for Koulibaly ended some time ago and they need to link him with LFC to once again make him relevant for bigger clubs ?

Unless he’s cheap, like £25m-ish, I can’t see us going for him.

Who would you rather see play alongside VVD For Liverpool?
Kalidou Koulibaly
Joe Gomez
The 28-year-old has only made one appearance for the Italian club in 2020 due to injury problems, bringing his total number of appearances this season to 21 (per Transfermarkt). Now that it has been reported that Liverpool have approached Koulibaly and Napoli with a lucrative deal to secure his signature this summer, this news sparked a big discussion on Twitter.
All these small league clubs using us to milk more money for their players.

What do we think?
It appears that this group of Liverpool supporters aren’t fully convinced that their club has any interest in signing Koulibaly this summer.
