‘Should have handed a transfer request’ – Fans reacts to reports Man City target ‘was certain’ of Etihad move

Share

Man City fans have been reacting to a post on Twitter, which relays a report that claims Napoli centre-back Kalidou Koulibaly was certain that he would leave the club for the Etihad during the summer transfer window.

The Citizens have long targeted the 29-year-old defender but were unwilling to meet Aurelio De Laurentiis’ asking price of £72million.

City instead made the move to bring £64m Ruben Dias to the Etihad Stadium from Benfica last month.

According to Corriere dello Sport, City’s decision to change target surprised Koulibaly himself, who was sure that a switch to the Etihad Stadium was in the offing.

The report adds that Koulibaly was happy to stay at Napoli, though, and that he has opened talks with the club over a contract extension including a pay rise.

In reaction to the report shared on Twitter by City Chief and Man City Xtra, Manchester City fans have expressed their thoughts and opinions.
