Manchester United have made Sevilla centre-back Jules Kounde their leading defensive transfer target, according to reports.
United were among the clubs linked with a move for RB Leipzig centre-back Dayot Upamecano, who also attracted interest from Chelsea and Liverpool.
Bayern Munich look to have won the race for the Frenchman’s signature, though, with Upamecano expected to move to the Allianz Arena for £38m this summer.
Solskjaer’s side did welcome the 34-year-old Edinson Cavani to Old Trafford last summer, but Ramos would command much higher wages than the Uruguay international.
It was reported earlier this week that Raphael Varane and Tyrone Mings are also on United’s shortlist, but it appears that Kounde is the club’s main target.
Solskjaer’s side return to Premier League action against West Brom on Sunday, when a win will move them up to second place.
