Man Utd 'Ready to Offer' £26m for Napoli Left-Back as Part of Summer Defensive Rebuild

Manchester United are reportedly readying a summer offer for Napoli left-back Faouzi Ghoulam as part of a widely rumoured defensive rebuild that could see a number of Old Trafford casualties, including Chris Smalling, Phil Jones, Daley Blind, Matteo Darmian and Luke Shaw.

The gossip comes in the same week that United were linked with Ghoulam's Napoli team-mate, centre-back Kaliou Koulibaly.

The 27-year-old Algerian international, who is represented by Jorge Mendes' Gestifute agency, has been sidelined with a fractured with knee trouble injury since October, but is said to be close to resuming training.
