Manchester United transfer news: Jose Mourinho fails with 91m bid for Napoli star Kalidou Koulibaly – reports
Manchester United have failed in a world record bid to sign Napoli defender Kalidou Koulibaly, according to reports.Jose Mourinho is a huge admirer of the centre-half and had convinced chief executive Ed Woodward to part with 91million to bring him to Old Trafford – a world record fee.2

Koulibaly and Dries Mertens are both integral to Napoli’s style of play

However, Italian newspaper Corriere dello Sport claim Napoli presidentAurelio De Laurentiis ‘immediately’ rejected the approach.The Red Devils failed with an 80million bid for Koulibaly in October, with Mourinho desperate to add steel to the heart of his rather flimsy defence.They currently sit in seventh place in the Premier League, conceding a staggering 21 goals in what is their worst start to a season for 28 years.The 27-year-old is a French-born Senegal international and has risen to prominence since joining the Serie A side from Genk in 2014.2

The 27-year-old has already successfully stopped the potent Liverpool attacking trio in the Champions League

Nicknamed ‘Il Muro’ (the wall) by those in Naples, Koulibaly is seen as the perfect player to end the reign of Phil Jones and Chris Smalling at the back for United.Summer moves for Harry Maguire and Toby Alderweireld failed to come to fruition, leaving Koulibaly as the clear contender to come in at the back.The current world record transfer fee for a defender stands at 75million – the amount Liverpool parted with to sign Virgil van Dijk from Southampton in January.
