DBasia.news – Idrissa Gueye, Paris Saint Germain midfielder reportedly tried to persuade Napoli defender, Kalidou Koulibaly, to join PSG. Gueye claimed to be ecstatic that PSG succeeded in bringing Koulibaly to the Parc des Princes stadium.
In recent years, Koulibaly was often reported to be leaving Napoli. Several big European clubs such as PSG, Manchester United and Real Madrid are rumored to be ready to pour in large funds to secure Koulibaly’s services.
“I have never talked about this to anyone. Except for a few members of the coaching team in the Senegalese national team. They also support Koulibaly to come here, “Idrissa Gueye told Canal Plus.
“(Coming to PSG) is something really great for Kalidou Koulibaly and all of us. “I would feel thrilled when playing with other Senegalese players here,” he added.
Furthermore, Gueye also admitted that he and Koulibaly had a fairly close relationship outside the field. He even has a special name for Koulibaly.
“Koulibaly and I have a pretty close relationship. When strengthening the Senegal national team, I call him “General.” Coming here is an appropriate decision for him, “he concluded.
If wanting to bring in Koulibaly, Les Parisien must disburse substantial funds. The Italian media reported that Napoli would only release Koulibaly if they receive an offer of 90 million Euros.
