Manchester City may suffer a potential setback as the club pursue Napoli star Kalidou Koulibaly, according to Italian outlet
La Gazzetta dello Sport.
The Citizens have been linked with the move for the 28-year-old amid another Premier League side, Manchester United interest.
The report claims that Napoli chairman Aurelio De Laurentiis is refusing to compromise on the player's
€100 million asking price.
With the City being banned from the Champions League for two years for breaking Financial Fair Play rules, it may be difficult for the club to cope with the set price.
Koulibaly is a highly-rated player and could be a perfect addition to Pep Guardiola's squad. Once ex-Premier League shot-stopper Pepe Reina described him as "
extraordinary."
