Manchester United prepares mega bid for Kalidou Koulibaly

Manchester United is preparing to attempt Napoli with a huge bid for Senegalese defender Kalidou Koulibaly while Ole Gunnar Solskjaer continues his preparations for next season.

United has not yet announced its management plans for the next term. The acting head of government is due to step down at the end of his contract in June.

But the former striker is the group's favorite to hold this position permanently. Central defender Koulibaly is a prime target as rebuilding Old Trafford continues after years of a chaotic transfer policy, according to La Gazzetta dello Sport.

United is not alone in its pursuit of Napoli, with Real Madrid and Barcelona also keeping the course on Chelsea, 27, and his Premier League rivals.

Napoli's leader, Aurelio de Laurentiis, would like to have something in the vicinity of £ 128 million for his man, which would represent a substantial return on the £ 6.5 million that the club has bombed to bring him back from Genk. 2014.

He was a trusted player at Stadio San Paolo at that time. This season, he has been 20 times successful in Serie A, while Napoli has consolidated its position in second place behind Juventus, leader and champion on the run.

He was selected 31 times by Senegal and was eliminated in the first round of the World Cup in Russia in 2018.

United is closely linked this week to Harry Maguire of Leicester, who would be open to Old Trafford after refusing the opportunity to join Jose Mourinho's team manager last summer.

If one of the two central defenders arrives at Old Trafford in the summer, it will probably mean the end of United's life for Eric Bailly and Marcus Rojo, both of whom have lost their heads under Solskjaer and already seem to have a limited future. . in red.
