Paper Talk: Solskjaer makes £60m LaLiga star top centre-back target; late Arsenal bid for Palace defender Manchester United are ready to make a move for a £60m-rated LaLiga centre-back, while Arsenal could make a late January swoop for a Crystal Palace defender, all in Sunday’s papers. UNITED TO MOVE FOR SEVILLA STAR Manchester United are reportedly hot on the heels of Sevilla’s £60m-rated centre-back Jules Kounde. Red Devils boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has made the 22-year-old his first-choice summer transfer target, according to a report in the Sunday Mirror. European heavyweights Bayern Munich, Juventus, and Real Madrid are also chasing the player, while Barcelona and Atletico Madrid have tracked the Kounde in the past. Kounde joined Sevilla from Bordeaux 18 months ago for £22 million. He has since emerged as one the top centre-backs in Spain, with his price nearly tripling in value. Solskjaer currently has Victor Lindelof, Eric Bailly and Axel Tuanzebe to call on as partners for first choice Harry Maguire. But finding a partner for the England star has long been one of Solskjaer’s top priorities – and Kounde looks to be the man. The Red Devils saw first hand just how good Kounde is, when they lost to Sevilla in the Europa League semi-finals back in August. He is renowned for his pace and ability to read the game and would, seemingly, be the perfect partner for Maguire. However, United will have to fork out a substantial sum to beat their European rivals to one of the top prospects in the game.

UNITED TO MOVE FOR SEVILLA STAR

Manchester United are reportedly hot on the heels of Sevilla’s £60m-rated centre-back Jules Kounde.

Red Devils boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has made the 22-year-old his first-choice summer transfer target, according to a report in the Sunday Mirror.

European heavyweights Bayern Munich, Juventus, and Real Madrid are also chasing the player, while Barcelona and Atletico Madrid have tracked the Kounde in the past.

Kounde joined Sevilla from Bordeaux 18 months ago for £22 million. He has since emerged as one the top centre-backs in Spain, with his price nearly tripling in value.

Solskjaer currently has Victor Lindelof, Eric Bailly and Axel Tuanzebe to call on as partners for first choice Harry Maguire.

But finding a partner for the England star has long been one of Solskjaer’s top priorities – and Kounde looks to be the man.

The Red Devils saw first hand just how good Kounde is, when they lost to Sevilla in the Europa League semi-finals back in August.
