Report: Manchester United in talks with Napoli over Faouzi Ghoulam move

Manchester United have reportedly entered talks with Napoli over a move for defender Faouzi Ghoulam.

The Algeria international has made 151 appearances for the Partenopei since joining the club from Saint-Etienne in 2014.

Ghoulam's talent and impressive displays for the Serie A high-flyers have led to the player being linked with a switch to the Premier League in recent months.

The Red Devils, meanwhile, are reportedly looking to bring in defensive reinforcements ahead of the 2018-19 campaign, with Ghoulam thought to be a target for Jose Mourinho.

According to France Football, Jorge Mendes - who recently became Ghoulam's representative - has spoken to United about a potential move for the highly rated 27-year-old.

Ghoulam is believed to have has a £22m release clause in his contract at Stadio San Paolo.
