Three players Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer could sign this month

Kalidou Koulibaly

Despite signing Harry Maguire for £80million in the summer, it’s thought United are on the lookout for another central defender.

And the Italian journalist Fabio Santini has said that Solskjaer is set to land a long-term target in the shape of Napoli star Kalidou Koulibaly.

“Napoli will sell Kalidou Koulibaly to Manchester United for a figure of around €70-75m (£60million) It seems all done,” Santini told TV show Il Processo on the station 7 Gold (via the Daily Star).

“Naturally, such a deal will be closed only in June and certainly not in January in the winter transfer window.”

Koulibaly, who is a Senegal international, has played 232 matches for Napoli.
