Balde responded by picking Koulibaly alongside Virgil Van Dijk at centre-back, Manchester City's Kyle Walker at right-back and David Alaba at left-back.

Koulibaly is one of the world's top performing defenders and has been consistently linked with a move away from Napoli over the past couple of seasons, with Manchester United the most talked-about destination.

He has played 21 times in all competitions for Napoli this season.

Keita Balde meanwhile has played 26 times competitively this term with Monaco, including 21 outings in Ligue 1.

The 25-year old has had a hand in 12 goals (eight goals, four assists) across the board.
