Senegalese defender Kalidou Koulibaly from Al Hilal has entered the radar of French club Olympique Marseille for a potential signing in the upcoming period.

French reports have indicated that Marseille has been aiming to sign a new defender since last January, and Koulibaly is one of the candidates being considered for this position in the team.

The reports also mentioned that Marseille attempted to sign Koulibaly last January, but the deal did not go through, and Spanish defender Aymeric Laporte from Al Nassr is also among the proposed options.

Sources added that the French club will renew its efforts to sign Koulibaly during the upcoming June transfer window.

The sources pointed out that there were three options proposed to strengthen Marseille's defense: Jakub Kiwior from Arsenal, Benoît Badiashile from Chelsea, and Kalidou Koulibaly from Al Hilal.
