Nicknamed ‘Il Muro’ (the wall) by those in Naples, Koulibaly is seen as the perfect player to end the reign of Phil Jones and Chris Smalling at the back for United.Summer moves for Harry Maguire and Toby Alderweireld failed to come to fruition, leaving Koulibaly as the clear contender to come in at the back.The current world record transfer fee for a defender stands at 75million – the amount Liverpool parted with to sign Virgil van Dijk from Southampton in January.
