Manchester United are determined to sign Kalidou Koulibaly, but Napoli rejected a €90m proposal, claim Italian and English papers.
The 27-year-old Senegal international has just been nominated for the BBC African Player of the Year Award along with Juventus centre-back Medhi Benatia.
Jose Mourinho is a huge admirer of K2 and several newspapers in England suggest he is Manchester United’s Number One priority for the defence.
However, La Repubblica in Italy claims an offer of €90m came in and was promptly rejected by Napoli.
Koulibaly only recently signed a new contract to June 2023 and the price-tag, if he were to leave, would be well over €100m.
Along with Manchester United, there is also interest from Real Madrid, Barcelona, Manchester City and Bayern Munich.

Manchester United should employ proper scouts to follow up talents around the world 100m for a defender??? I love him but it's due to poor scouting network from European top teams that gives napoli such a voice. If he's 100 million then what will Laporte cost or Van Dyke or varane

Manchester United are willing to spend millions on Players who are already at twilight of their careers. Wasteful mourinho! You sell bailey age 25, you buy a defender age 32. Mourinho is a drowning man. Look matic , age is telling on him. You bought fred 56million and you are keeping him on the bench. What a pity for United and their owners!
