ADL right now

This would be a very welcome bi-product of this deal if it comes off.
 
Feel sorry for KK as it seems he really wanted the move but this transfer would make so much more sense.
That's the thing about playing for Italian sides, don't sign an extension when you have plans of moving on. The rumours that we were interested in KK didn't just come out now, its been there for a while and what did he do? he went on to sign a contract extension, dumb move, even talksport posted an article on this (although they replaced our interest with the rags https://talksport.com/football/407515/kalidou-koulibaly-new-five-year-napoli-contract/)! Fiorentina did it to Jovetic when Benitez tried to sign him for the dippers, a couple years later they tried playing that same card again when we came in for Jovetic, he had to turn down all offers to renew his contract with Fiorentina, that way they had to sell at a reasonable price. Serie A clubs practice this outdated shake down business strategy and its really destroying the league but they wouldn't see it that way, to them its good ol' machismo business.

KK should've known better. Don't feel sorry for him.

Whatever it takes I suspect that it will be reported as being twice what the Dippers paid for VvDick.
If he’s the right guy, properly scouted, then yes we should pay what it takes. If it means we have to stop playing the football stock market for a year with signings for Girona then we should. It’s a clear weakness in our side and it looks like it’s at a good fee too, which is a bonus.
 
Think this is just a clever ploy from City to put pressure on Napoli to lower price.
We aint buying Kounde, but we make sure to make it look like we do in media.

Or his agent making a big play here making up this to make top clubs look at his player. Have not seen many rumours about him joining top clubs until 3 days ago and now he is in the top news.
It was Diego Carlos for weeks as a supposed interest from City (without any bid of course).

or bit of both his agent benefits throwing his name out there with us while benefits City to put pressure on ADL.

21 years old. Just had the season of his life and played a pivotal role in his team winning the Europa League.

Why would we not sign him?
