\u2018He wants it done\u2019 \u2013 journalist claims Carlo Ancelotti will bring Kalidou Koulibaly, regarded as one of the world\u2019s elite centre-halves, to Everton.<\/p>\n
The Napoli defender from Senegal has been strongly linked with Manchester United and Liverpool over recent years but Napoli\u2019s stiff asking price of 89m pounds sterling has kept would-be suitors at bay. However, reports this week have emerged stating Everton are poised to pounce this summer with Koulibaly now 29 and at the prime of his career.<\/p>\n
Everton boss Carlo Ancelotti worked with Koulibaly during his stint as the head coach at Napoli, and had a big role for the former Metz man. The veteran Italian coach is looking for a world-class centre-back to help give Everton a big boost further up the table and the Senegalese star is touted to be his primary target.<\/p>\n
Napoli no doubt will still have a heavy price tag on their star man, but the good news is Ancelotti has the reassurance from Everton\u2019s owners that they will be backing him with funds to spend in the transfer market, according to journalist Alex Crook who claims that Ancelotti \u2018wants to get it done\u2019.<\/p>\n
\u201cKoulibaly is in the news but definite interest and genuine interest from Everton,\u201d Crook told talkSPORT.<\/p>\n
\u201cSounds like Carlo Ancelotti is going to be backed this summer.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think they\u2019re just going to fall short this season in terms of a Champions League place. But they believe they\u2019ve got the right manager in place in Ancelotti to challenge at that kind of level. Right now, at this moment in time, they\u2019ve not got the squad depth to do so.<\/p>\n
\u201cKoulibaly is someone that Ancelotti worked with at Napoli, knows him well, \u00a389m was the fee being talked about this time last year.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think given the global economy when it comes to football, that fee would be dramatically reduced now. But I think Ancelotti would like to get this deal done.\u201d<\/p>\n
