Currently, they have the likes of Harry Maguire and Victor Lindelof at the back but they want a more resolute combination. Ole Gunnar Solskj\u00e6r has expressed his interest in\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.thesportsnews.in\/tag\/real-madrid\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Real Madrid<\/a>\u00a0defender Raphael Varane but Madrid are asking for a high sum.<\/p>\n<p>United are shifting their focus towards Villarreal centre back <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thesportsnews.in\/tag\/pau-torres\/\">Pau Torres<\/a>. He has been impressive with the Yellow Submarines and has played a total of 38 matches in the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.thesportsnews.in\/tag\/la-liga\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">La Liga<\/a>\u00a0season. Moreover, Villarreal defeated Manchester United on penalties in the UEFA Europa League final this season.<\/p>\n<p>Currently, Villarreal have set the price for Pau Torres at an estimated \u00a360 million. The Red Devils are hoping to reduce this big amount by including some players in the deal. Their backup option in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thesportsnews.in\/tag\/raphael-varane\/\">Raphael Varane<\/a> is also at \u00a355 million.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking about Real Madrid, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thesportsnews.in\/tag\/carlo-ancelotti\/\">Carlo Ancelotti<\/a> is set to request for his first transfer. Ancelotti has targetted Napoli centre back <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thesportsnews.in\/tag\/kalidou-koulibaly\/\">Kalidou Koulibaly<\/a> as his center back. Ancelotti was associated with Kalidou Koulibaly during his time at Napoli and is familiar with the player.<\/p>\n<p>Real Madrid recently parted ways with Sergio Ramos and hence are looking for a replacement. Carlo Ancelotti believes that Koulibaly can fill that void and partner up with Raphael Varane. Koulibaly is an experienced campaigner and a very powerful defender.<\/p>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thesportsnews.in\/manchester-united-set-their-eyes-on-pau-torres-carlo-ancelotti-has-napoli-star-on-wishlist\/\">Manchester United set their eyes on Pau Torres; Carlo Ancelotti has Napoli star Kalidou Koulibaly on wishlist<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thesportsnews.in\">The Sports News<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Manchester United are planning to sign up Villarreal centre back Pau Torres and Carlo Ancelotti wants Kalidou Koulibaly at Real Madrid.<br \/>\nThe post Manchester United set their eyes on Pau Torres; Carlo Ancelotti has Napoli star Kalidou Koulibaly on wishlist appeared first on The Sports News.<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportinfo.pro\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/89271"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportinfo.pro\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportinfo.pro\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportinfo.pro\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportinfo.pro\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=89271"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/sportinfo.pro\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/89271\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":89272,"href":"https:\/\/sportinfo.pro\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/89271\/revisions\/89272"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportinfo.pro\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=89271"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportinfo.pro\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=89271"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportinfo.pro\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=89271"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
