PSG 'give up on pursuit of Kalidou Koulibaly' as they baulk at Napoli's 'excessive' £63m asking price... leaving Manchester United with a free run at centre back this summer

Manchester United have been given a clear path to sign Kalidou Koulibaly after PSG reportedly gave up on their pursuit of the centre back.

The Senegalese defender has been in huge demand recently and he is expected to leave the Stadio San Paolo this summer after impressing consistently through the years at Napoli.

Barcelona, Real Madrid, Manchester City, Liverpool and Co have all been linked with Koulibaly but both United and PSG were always front-runners for his signature.
