Manchester United submits huge bid for Koulibaly

Manchester United submits huge bid for Koulibaly

 

According to Italian tabloid Corriere dello Sport as reported by Football Italia, Manchester United has submitted a bid for Napoli defender Kalidou Koulibaly upwards of $107.7 million.

The report states that since the Red Devils are anticipating a swing and miss on Matthijs de Ligt, they have now set their sights on the 27-year-old Senegal international who has been an absolute workhorse for the Serie A side since joining in 2014. Koulibaly has made at least 27 Serie A appearances in each of his five seasons at Napoli, topping the 30-game mark in three of the last four seasons including 35 games played in each of the last two campaigns.

Koulibaly reportedly has a $170 million release clause that becomes active next summer, with his contract not set to expire until the summer of 2023 having signed an extension just last year. Still, Koulibaly has been a wanted man over the past few years, with Napoli fending off rumors constantly.




Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis has been firm in his valuation of $113 million for Koulibaly. Corriere Dello Sports reported that that Napoli rejected a bid $102 million from Real Madrid for Koulibaly back in late May, proving De Laurentiis a tough nut to crack. However, if the latest bid is indeed a reality, it could test the executive’s resolve with the submission coming so close to his valuation and providing the club with a massive financial influx.

Rumours have circulated over Neymar's desire to leave France over the last few weeks, and it appears he's taken one step closer to the exit door after agreeing a five-year deal with the Spanish champions, in what would be one heck of a humbling move for a player who left the club in search of individual recognition. However, his reported earnings upon a return to the Nou Camp would be around €24m-per-season, a €12m reduction, with the player's clear priority being to restore his place at the top of the world game - not the annual Forbes list. Mundo Deportivo  name two other conditions put forward by the club for Neymar to fulfil. It states that  the Brazilian must withdraw his legal complai...
