Manchester United Given Transfer Boost as Kalidou Koulibaly's Agent Plays Down Juventus Links

The agent of SSC Napoli defender Kalidou Koulibaly has provided a crucial update in the transfer saga surrounding the Senegal international.

The 27-year-old has been one of the most talked about defenders for a number of years thanks to his performances with the Partenopei, attracting interest from the biggest clubs in Europe.

Juventus have unsurprisingly been linked with the Serie A star for some time, while Manchester United are believed to have recently made Koulibaly their number one target for the end of the season.

And Koulibaly's agent Bruno Satin has given the Red Devils further hope over a possible move after insisting that the defender won't 'betray' SSC Napoli by leaving the club for Juventus.
