#2 Kalidou Koulibaly (SSC Napoli)
Kalidou Koulibaly is a defender who plays for Napoli in Serie A and he is considered as one of the best defenders in world football right now. Since his arrival in Naples, he has been a rock at the back for Napoli as he continues to improve his performances every season.
The former Genk FC defender's style of play is like that of a modern defender. He is very good with his passing and has good vision as well. He is 6'4, physically strong and possesses great pace as well. Koulibaly is known for his reading of the game and his versatility as well.
The Senegalese international is 27 years old and has got good experience. Though he may not be a leader like Ramos but he is certainly an outstanding defender, who is at the peak of his game. He can provide good stability to Real Madrid's defence and he is a player on whom Los Blancos could rely upon.
He was linked with a move to the Bernabeu in the January transfer window and Real Madrid were willing to offer €100 million for his services as well. It is likely that they will target him again in the summer but they will possibly face competition from the likes of FC Barcelona and Manchester United.
