Manchester City are heavily linked with Napoli’s Kalidou Koulibaly, but what if that transfer doesn’t happen? Here are eight alternatives who could fit the bill for Manchester City at centre-back. From Sevilla’s defensive pairing of Diego Carlos and Jules Kounde right through to Dayot Upamecano and Ibrahima Konate at RB Leipzig. Four other names make up the list.

I love kounde. He is The best young defender. I prefer kounde than others. He could be best pair with laporte.
ሱራፌል ከኢትዮጵያ 🇪🇹።
IMO I want ibrahima konate, koulibaly, Dias or upamecano
Napoli is greedy. Just a reminder that nothing is a done deal until it's official.
Upamecano é our best bet…
Hey Steven what you think of pep useing a steady starting 11 no one comes out unless injury or playing badly or rest for an important one.. I think we need the players to stand up more for their places on the feel owned it and take responsibility and jell well together as a starting 11..
Skriniar is just John Stones with a little more confidence
Diego Carlos is a Brazilian Otamendi
i think you should include demirel the beast !
WTF too many adverts
Cant get skriniar, his preferred foot is left.we've already got two left footed CBs.
Koulibaly is actually a beast. since manolas joined napoli, koulibaly is not being played in his original position, which is right CB. His preferred foot is right but he is playing at the left CB position, thats why he is a bit shaky this season. Dont forget He will be playing at Right CB at city .
Dias is actually good, but he got no pace. 🙁
Koulibaly Upamecano Soyuncu Ruben dias
If we can get anyone of them i will be happy
Really don't want deigo Carlos looks rash af
I think city did have dias in their sights but the release clause is way too high for a 21 yr old who has only played in the portuguese league, and as u said city dont want a 2nd mangala
The people saying Upamencano we are looking for " A LEADER" and a great defender Koulibaly is the only one who ticks all those boxes
Please don’t sign carlos he has made three pens in the last three games
I want a big Center back and a tall striker
Great video , hopefully we can win the league next season when our defence improves 💙
No koilibaly for us
Let’s just stick with stones and otamendi
people who talk about Upamecano never talk about his injury history.
Upamecano would be a dream signing
Dayot Upamecano
City must go for this boy for me
I really like this comment section people here have great opinons and different thoughts.
City should sign skriniar he is amazing on the ball and very strong and tall also at 25 great signing
I think Ruben Dias is the one to get. Players from the portuguese league mostly deliver in the PL and he played awesome for his club and also national team. Upamecano would also be good but probably not doable.
After watching EUROPA league I have changed my mind on D. Carlos, he is clumsy and will struggle in EPL pace. Upamecano would have been fantastic signing but he just signed new contract so won't leave this summer, Skriniar is a big no as he has attitude problem hence Conte doesn't play him. However Ruben Dias is an interesting one, he is highly rated in Portugal and cool headed defender. I think he could be the ideal signing as shows leadership and has right attitude. Let's get Ruben Dias, he is young and a leader, could serve us like V. Kompany.
Why is no one talking about Umtiti Barcelona don’t want him he’s valued at around €32m ik he’s had a few injury’s but we now have Ake there if needed.
Ruben dias
Soyuncu or Upamencano
Upamecano or Soyûncu
It seems like France is producing a lot of very good defenders
Upamecano (based on the only game I've seen him play)
Upamecano great but not others
Why didn't we give Napoli what they wanted for K2 as soon as the window started and leave Ake and Torres for last minute negotiations, cos our priority was clearly a strong CB🤷♂️?
I used to love Konate but saw the number of games he plays ..he gets injured as much as Umtiti and Dembele. He’s hardly ever fit. would be waste of money. I’m fine with KK and Upamecano next season.
Steven, you should do an video on like 8 Alternatives to Cucurella
