Manchester United, Liverpool handed boost in Kalidou Koulibaly race?

Paris Saint-Germain have reportedly ended their interest in signing Napoli defender Kalidou Koulibaly.

With Napoli said to be open to parting ways with their most prized asset later in 2020, a number of teams have been linked with the Senegal international.

Despite the financial implications of the coronavirus pandemic, Manchester United, Liverpool, Everton and Newcastle United are all said to be admirers of the 28-year-old.

However, according to Le Parisien, PSG have had second thoughts about launching a big-money approach for the centre-back.

The report suggests that the French champions have no intention of meeting Napoli's asking price, said to be in the region of £63m.

Nevertheless, it has previously been claimed that Koulibaly was against a move to Ligue 1 due to a lack of competition at the top end of the standings.
