Napoli defender Kalidou Koulibaly has been offered to several major European clubs, including Arsenal, Goal understands.
The 25-year-old Senegal international, who is wanted by Premier League sides Chelsea and Everton, has a hefty price tag of around €45 million which no-one has matched so far.
Gunners boss Arsene Wenger is in the market for a top class defender this summer and while Koulibaly remains on the club's list of targets, there has been no bid lodged as of yet.
Goal exclusively revealed on Monday that Roma want at least €45 million for defender Kostas Manolas, another Arsenal target who has demanded a bigger contract at his respective club.
Wenger is on the verge of securing his third signing of the summer, Rob Holding, this week after the 20-year-old passed a medical with personal terms set to be discussed over the coming days.
