Napoli has a contract with Koulibaly until 2023. And the 29 years old player will enter the last phase of his 1st class footballing career.

Hence, SSC Napoli will consider cashing in the player, who will turn 30 soon. And it’s certainly better for a team to sell the player right when the demand is high.

Man Utd also has Real Madrid defender Rafael Varane insight. And will also keep tracking Koulibaly as well to partner with Harry Maguire in their defence next season.
