In a significant move, Kalidou Koulibaly is set to continue his career at Serie A club Napoli, as announced by Africa Top Sports in recent days. The 22-year-old French defender, of Senegalese origin, has completed a successful medical after leaving Belgian side Genk, where he spent the last two seasons. Koulibaly, who is under contract with Genk until 2017, will now sign a five-year deal with Napoli.
The transfer fee for the highly-rated defender is reported to be around €8 million. Koulibaly’s impressive performances, including his participation in the 2011 World Cup semi-finals with France’s U20 team, have attracted significant attention, making this move a notable step in his young career.
