Manchester United and Real Madrid are likely to miss out on the signing of Kalidou Koulibaly with Liverpool said to be in advanced negotiations with Napoli for the centre-back.
The 28-year-old defender has been constantly linked with a move to Premier League for a number of years and reports have recently emerged that Partenopei are willing to sanction his sale.
Manchester United have reportedly taken the lead in the race to complete a deal for Napoli centre-back Kalidou Koulibaly, according to Italian media outlet Il Mattino, as quoted by the Daily Star.
The Red Devils are leading the race to sign their long-term target after years of speculation.
Manchester United have allegedly earmarked Napoli centre-back Kalidou Koulibaly as their number one summer transfer targets.
The 28-year-old defender has regularly been linked with a move to Manchester United in recent years, but they instead signed Harry Maguire last summer as they made him the most expensive defender of all time.
Following the elimination of Italy from Euro 2016, Chelsea supporters are excited about next season under the incoming manager Antonio Conte.
The west Londoners’s new signing is just around the corner, with report suggesting that a £30 million fee has been agreed with the Serie A outfit Napoli for Kalidou Koulibaly and a deal will be materialised once the centre-back can come to terms on his own severance package with the Italian side.
