Barcelona is looking for a center-back for next season.

The Catalan giant is on the hunt to find a footballer of this position at the request of coach Xavi Hernandez.

Pique and Umtiti are heading towards the end of the cycle with “Blaugrana”, therefore the club is looking for their successor.

According to the Spanish media “As”, coach Xavi has considered Napoli center-back Kalidou Koulibaly as the ideal player to lead the heart of the team’s defense from “Camp Nou”.

According to the Spanish media, the leaders of the Spanish club have already contacted the manager of the African footballer, the Albanian Fali Ramadani.

Napoli has not yet started talks with the stable defender for the new contract.

Its current one will expire in 2023.

And in order not to lose money next year, the Italian club can sell the player for 40 million euros next summer.

Koulibaly has been liked by English clubs for some time.
