Out of Everton (who no longer have Carlo Ancelotti as their manager), Liverpool, Manchester City and Manchester United, it’s the latter who appear to have the best chance of signing Kalidou Koulibaly.
After all, the Cityzens are stacked at the position in terms of starters even with Eric García leaving while the Reds have secured the services of Ibahima Konaté.
As for Everton, they are currently in limbo, with their manager set to take over at Santiago Bernabéu, meaning Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side are the only ones out of the list published by Gazzetta dello Sport who appear in dire need of a centre-back.
That last part is no secret, and the Italian newspaper once again reiterate the Red Devils’ interest in the Senegalese defender.
They state the player ‘wouldn’t be displeased with an experience in the Premier League’, while Aurelio De Laurentiis, always so reluctant to sell him in the past, wants ‘at least €50m’.
That’s a considerable decrease from past asking price, but when someone like Jules Koundé is available for around €20m more and will guarantee a future in the position, you do have to wonder if Koulibaly is still worth it, even at that price?
