Napoli are making a move for Manchester United defender Eric Bailly.

Sportitalia's Alfredo Pedulla reports Napoli are in contact with United regarding a move for Bailly.

The Serie A side are preparing for life after stalwart defender Kalidou Koulibaly.

The Senegalese defender, 34, is set to bring eight years at Napoli to an end by signing for Chelsea in a £34m deal.

Koulibaly has reportedly agreed a deal worth around £162,000 a week at Stamford Bridge.

According to transfer expert Pedulla, Napoli are looking to Man United for their Koulibaly replacement.

They claim that the Italian club have opened talks with the Red Devils in a bid to sign Ivorian ace Bailly.
