African All Stars Transfer News & Rumours: Manchester United's £96m bid for Koulibaly rejected

Napoli have turned down Manchester United's offer of £96 million for Senegal centre-back Kalidou Koulibaly, the Manchester Evening News has reported.

Just like his predecessor Jose Mourinho, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer sees Koulibaly as the best possible defensive reinforcement the u200bRed Devils could make this summer.

But Napoli are not ready to release one of their prized assets on the cheap after he was recently named the best defender in the Serie A for the 2018-19 season.

Senegal's Pape Souare and Mali’s Bakary Sako are expected to leave Crystal Palace when their contracts expire next month, according to the Evening Standard.
