And now, for today's biggest news of the day!

According to Corriere dello Sport, Manchester United have prepared a £84 million bid for Napoli defender Kalidou Koulibaly, who has been United's number one target this summer. Previous reports had highlighted that the Red Devils had been discouraged by Napoli's huge asking price of their Senegalese defender, and that the Premier League giants had turned their attention to other alternatives. However, it now seems that United are ready to test Napoli's resolve with a huge opening bid.

Solskjaer had long identified Koulibaly as the man to solve his defensive troubles and remains interested in signing the defender, despite the current circumstances. However, it is highly unlikely that Napoli will budge from their £150 million valuation of their star defender. Napoli coach Carlo Ancelloti himself has no intentions of selling Koulibaly, and has previously stated that the defender would play for Napoli next season.

So the burning question right now is can United churn up the impossible this summer? Because adding Koulibaly to this team suddenly makes everything look better! We have to watch out for this one in the coming days!
