Man Utd ready to reignite Kalidou Koulibaly interest?

Manchester United will reignite their interest in Napoli centre-back Kalidou Koulibaly this summer, with the defender potentially available for £62m.

Manchester United are reportedly set to revive their interest in Napoli centre-back Kalidou Koulibaly.

The defender was linked with a move to the red side of Manchester last summer but ultimately remained in Naples, where he has amassed 21 appearances across all competitions this season.

However, Koulibaly is being tipped to depart Napoli when the transfer window reopens, and a whole host of sides are understood to be interested in the Senegal international.

Newcastle United are thought to be at the head of the queue for Koulibaly's signature, but according to Gazetta dello Sport, Man Utd are rejoining the race.

The report claims that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side tabled an £89m for the defender last year, although Napoli will reportedly be forced to lower their asking price for Koulibaly amid the coronavirus pandemic.

Liverpool, Paris Saint-Germain and Everton have all been credited with an interest in the 28-year-old, who could be available for £62m this summer.
