Barcelona have Koulibaly bid rejected

Barcelona are on a mission to strengthen their back-line and have a few targets in mind. The Catalan side are looking to sign a long-term replacement for Gerard Pique and also a player to play alongside him for the time being.

Daily Express report that Barca have had a stunning £107 million bid for Kalidou Koulibaly rejected. Napoli are looking to keep hold of the player until the summer and have no plans of selling him.

Apart from Barcelona, Manchester United have also been linked with him. The Red Devils are also keen on signing him while Chelsea are also keeping an eye on him if reports in Italy are to be believed.

Barcelona's long-term target still remains to be Matthijs de Ligt. The Ajax star is highly rated around the world and top European sides are looking to sign him, but the Catalan side are in the lead as he wants to join them too.
