Liverpool transfer news: Jurgen Klopp is in the market for a defender (Image: EXPRESS)
"Kalidou Koulibaly is most certainly on the market," McGarry said.
"We have been told by an agent who is very close to Napoli that Aurelio De Laurentis, the chairman and president of Napoli, is willing to take a knockdown price for the defender, given that he is about to turn 30 years old, and will cash in on him.
"He was available for €90m in last summer's transfer window but we understand that a fee of around €60m (£51.6m), potentially even as little as €45m would be enough to secure his services.
"Now, we know that Manchester United are interested and also Liverpool, although Liverpool have cooled their interest somewhat."
