Barcelona have identified Napoli centre-back Kalidou Kouliably as a potential alternative to Jules Kounde this summer, should the Catalan giants fail to bring in their primary target.
The Senegal international is thought to be open to a move to the Nou Camp, and with Barca still crippled by their own financial crisis, he represents a far more appealing prospect, according to Diario Sport.
There is also the fact that Barca are not the only side bidding for Kounde, and Chelsea are thought to be strong suitors after reports that new owner Todd Boehly is prepared to offer Thomas Tuchel £200million and six new signings.
Xavi's main target is Jules Kounde but he could move for Kalidou Koulibaly if he is priced out
Koulibaly wants to leave Napoli, but he is limited in his options because the Italian side are only prepared to part with their man to a club outside of Serie A.
However, the player is entering the final year of his contract and Gli Azzurri will want to get some money for the defender this summer, rather than watch him leave for nothing in
