Report: Manchester United eye move for Jules Kounde

According to reports from The Mirror, Manchester United are plotting a summer move to sign centre-back Jules Kounde.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is looking to bolster the United defence in the summer transfer window and has earmarked the 22-year-old French centre-back his first-choice transfer target.

European heavyweights Bayern Munich, Juventus, and Real Madrid are all tracking Kounde. Barcelona and Atletico Madrid are also interested in signing him.

Kounde joined Sevilla from Bordeaux 18 months ago for a fee of £22 million. He has grown into a key player for the La Liga side, and it would take a massive transfer fee of around £60m to lure him away from the Andalusian club.
