#1 Kalidou Koulibaly
The Napoli defender has been in exceptional form in the last few seasons, which has helped his team perform well in Serie A. He has similar qualities to that of Vincent Kompany, and if Pep Guardiola sits down to decide on a replacement for the Belgian, Koulibaly definitely has to be a part of that list.
The defender from Senegal has played more than 150 matches for Napoli in the last 5 seasons of Serie A. Although his goal-contribution has been limited to just 10 in the league, the tall defender's ability to play the ball out from the back has led to many goals.
He is compact, good on the ball, and will be an extreme physical advantage for his team. However, Manchester City must beat off competition and high transfer fees if they are to sign this talented defender in the summer.
