Liverpool fans on Twitter have been responding to the latest transfer news surrounding Napoli defender Kalidou Koulibaly.
This comes after Liverpool-focused Twitter account @AnfieldEdition shared a post on their page relaying news originally published in an article by Corriere del Mezzogiorno (via Sport Witness).
The article claims that Liverpool “dream” of pairing Koulibaly alongside Virgil van Dijk, and while Napoli are open to selling the defender, they will not entertain offers of less than €80m (£71.9m).
This post then gathered a lot of replies from Liverpool fans who were quick to share their thoughts on this potential transfer for Koulibaly, who is currently valued at £50.4 million according to Transfermarkt.
Here’s a sample of Liverpool fans responding to the post:

Do Liverpool need to sign Koulibaly this summer?
Yes
No
Class defender but wouldn’t be worth the buy tbh. I’m happy with our team?

What do we think?
It appears that these Liverpool fans are not crazy about the idea of their club splashing out a big-money fee on Koulibaly this summer. This just goes to show how much confidence they have in Joe Gomez to remain as Van Dijk’s defensive partner for the foreseeable future.
