Liverpool fans on Twitter have been responding to the latest transfer update concerning Napoli defender Kalidou Koulibaly.
This comes after Liverpool fan Twitter account @AnfieldEdition shared a post on their page relaying news originally published in a report by Gazetta dello Sport via the Daily Mail.
The report claimed that Napoli will consider offers for Koulibaly this summer with Liverpool leading the race for the centre-back.
The report also added that Manchester United and Real Madrid are also keen, with the Italians wanting £89 million, although the Reds may offer Dejan Lovren in part exchange.
This post then gathered a lot of replies from Liverpool fans who were eager to have their say on this latest update.

This will be some crazy deal. I’m here for the outrage from rivals ?

That would be an excellent deal if we could sign him ?

Would you swap Dejan Lovren for Koulibaly?
Yes
No
The 28-year-old is currently valued at £50.4 million according to Transfermarkt. The centre-half has only made 21 appearances for Napoli throughout the season so far, with injuries and suspensions disrupting his campaign at the Italian club (per Transfermarkt). Now that it has been reported that Liverpool are leading the race to land Koulibaly this summer, this sparked a big reaction on Twitter.
Lovren might well flourish over there and both teams know this

Would not like to hinder Joe Gomez’ development but it woud add more competition & quality maybe a 3-4-3 with Robbo & Trent as Fullbacks I doubt this would be implemented by Klopp but it would good to have different options!

Imagine getting Lovren for Koulibaly.
Big upgrade— Ashvin (@El_Pistoleroooo) May 3, 2020
What do we think?
It seems the majority of these Liverpool fans would be open to seeing Koulibaly make the move to Anfield, possibly in the place of Lovren.
