In the Latest Transfer News, Manchester United have officially joined the race for the signature of Lewandowski. While Chelsea owner, Todd Boehly approves 10 million contract for Koulibaly.
Manchester United to Battle Barcelona and PSG for Robert Lewandowski?
Manchester United are ready to join Barcelona and Chelsea in the race to sign wantaway striker Robert Lewandowski after missing out on a deal for Darwin Nunez.
New Red Devils boss Erik ten Hag wants to bolster his attacking options this summer and identified Uruguayan sensation Nunez as a top target.
But Nunez, who scored 34 goals in 41 games for Benfica last season, is closing in on a move to Liverpool worth around £85m.
That has left United looking at other options and, according to The Sun, they have emerged as potential suitors for Poland legend Lewandowski.
Lewandowski has admitted he is desperate to leave Bayern Munich this summer and wants to join Spanish giants Barcelona.
The 33-year-old has enjoyed huge success at Bayern, scoring 344 goals in 375 appearances and helping the club win eight Bundesliga titles, but wants to take on a new challenge elsewhere.
But a move to Barcelona is not guaranteed as the La Liga club – still struggling financially – need to offload players to raise the funds to sign Lewandowski.
They could be set to earn around £80m for Frenkie de Jong but rejected Manchester United's opening offer for the Dutch midfielder earlier this week.
If Lewandowski gets impatient or a move to Barca becomes unlikely, United will reportedly pounce and try to sign the veteran in a similar deal to the one that saw Cristiano Ronaldo return to Old Trafford last summer.
But United's Premier League rivals Chelsea are also interested in signing Lewandowski as they prepare for Romelu Lukaku's possible exit. The Belgian struggled last season and wants to return to Inter Milan.
Latest Transfer News: Todd Boehly approves Kalidou Koulibaly to Chelsea?
In the Lastest Transfer News, Chelsea are reportedly prepared to hand a lucrative contract worth €10 million per year to lure Kalidou Koulibaly, who is a target for Barcelona and PSG.
According to Italian publication Gazzetta dello Sport, as relayed by Sport Witness, Chelsea are plotting to beat Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain to the signing of Napoli defender Kalidou Koulibaly by offering him a big contract worth €10 million-a-year.
Koulibaly has been a mainstay at the back for Napoli for years, having joined the club from KRC Genk in 2014. One of the most reliable defenders in Serie A and Europe, the 30-year-old could be on the move this summer as his contract stands to expire next year.
🚨 Chelsea have added Kalidou Koulibaly to their short transfer list.🇸🇳 🔵#CFC
Koulibaly is currently on a deal worth €6 million per year. And Napoli have offered him an extension with a lowered salary of €4 million-a-year as they are looking to trim down their wage bill. Disappointed by the proposal, Koulibaly has made up his mind about leaving the Partenopei in the summer transfer window.
Koulibaly's availability in the summer has alerted several top clubs from across Europe, with Chelsea and Barcelona, in particular, showing serious interest in signing the Senegalese international in the summer.
Barcelona have made Koulibaly one of their top defensive targets heading into the summer as manager Xavi Hernandez wants to add a top-quality centre-back to his roster. The Catalans have Gerard Pique, Eric Garcia, Ronald Araujo, Clement Lenglet and Samuel Umtiti as options, while Andreas Christensen is also expected to join imminently on a Bosman deal.
Chelsea are also keen on signing Koulibaly, with the summer transfer window already open in England. The Blues have seen Antonio Rudiger join Real Madrid, while Christensen will be signing for Barcelona imminently as well. With Cesar Azpilicueta's future also not secure, Thomas Tuchel's side must bring in at least one world-class defender.

Top 12 players with most hat-tricks in football in the 21st century
Cristiano Ronaldo has scored the most hat-tricks in football in the 21st century. Here are the top 12 players with most hat-tricks in football in the 21st century.
Hat tricks are one of the toughest and most exciting things in football. To score thrice in a single match is not only hard but also one of the rarest things as well. However, some players have made it look so easy.
Today, in this article, we will talk about the top ten players with most hat tricks in football in the 21st century.
But before that, let me answer the question that you have in your mind. I know that you want to know who has scored the most hat-tricks in football history.
Note that the article was first written by Koushik Biswas and then got updated by the editioral team for relevancy of the stats.
Who has scored the most hat-tricks in football history?
Now that's a very tricky question to answer because there is a lack of proof with the data of football score lines from the past.
As per Guinness World Records, the Brazilian legend Pele has scored the most hat-tricks in football history. The former striker scored as many as 92 hat tricks in his career, with seven of them being for Brazil. However, since Pele never played in Europe, there is no exact data or proof to support the answer. Most of Pele's hat-tricks came in unofficial and friendlies as well.
Top 12 players with most hat-tricks in football in the 21st century
Now, to list the top ten players with most hat tricks in football in the 21st century, there will be no confusion, because we have the proof and the data to support our list. This data not only validates but also proves why keeping the record of every football stat is important.
With this list, you will know how the 21st century has been dominated by two of the greatest footballers in history.
Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi have scored twice as many hat tricks as the 3rd player on the list has achieved.
Here is the full list of the top 12 players with most hat-tricks in football in the 21st century.
12. Sergio Aguero | 18 hat-tricks
Aguero has scored a record 12 Premier League hat-tricks. Image | mancity.com
With 18 hat tricks to his name, including his club and international career, Aguero is the player with the 12th most hat-tricks in the 21st century.
Not surprisingly, twelve of his 18 hat tricks came for Manchester City, most in the Premier League. However, Aguero only scored one hat-trick for Argentina in his international career.
The former striker scored more than four goals three times in his career, all in the Premier League.

#6 Erling Haaland | 27
In just two seasons, Haaland has already scored 8 Premier League hat-tricks. Image | premierleague.com
Norwegian Erling Haaland is a beast when it comes to scoring goals within the 'D box'. He would always see him at the right place at the right time, scoring some great acrobatic goals.
Haaland rose to fame with German club Borussia Dortmund and then unleashed his absolute best for Premier League club Manchester City. In his first season in the Premier League, he broke the record for the most goals in a season in the tournament (36).
In his short career so far, he has scored 27 hat-tricks and can only get better from here on. 11 of his hat-tricks came for Manchester City, among which 8 came in the Premier League, in only two seasons.
Harry Kane has already scored 8 hat-tricks for FC Bayern Munich. Image | FCBayern on X
Harry Kane is the only English player on our list of the top 12 players with most hat tricks in football in 21st century. With 27 hat tricks in his career till now, Harry Kane is fifth on our list currently.
The Tottenham Hotspur legend, who left Premier League with the second most goals in the competition's history, is now breaking records in the Bundesliga as well.
Kane scored 14 hat-tricks for Spurs and has already scored 8 hat-tricks for FC Bayern Munich in just two seasons.
Suarez scored 12 hat-tricks for FC Barcelona. Image | FC Barcelona on X.
Uruguayan legend Luis Suarez, who dominated European football first for Ajax and Liverpool and then for FC Barcelona, creating the famous M-S-N trio with Lionel Messi and Neymar, scored 30 hat-tricks in his career.
Suarez is currently playing for Inter Miami and has scored 505 goals so far in his career, among which 69 came for Uruguay.
Twelve of his total 30 career hat-tricks came for FC Barcelona and 9 for Ajax during his early days.
Lewandowski has scored three hat-tricks for FC Barcelona. Image | FC Barcelona on X
If we do not count Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, Robert Lewandowski of Poland has been the greatest footballer of this generation. It is harsh that he always gets compared to those two and has not recieve the appreciation he should get.
He was even unlucky not to win the 2020 Ballon d'Or, which was cancelled due to COVID-19. Apart from Messi and Cristiano, he is the only player to score over 100 Champions League goals.
Lewandowski scored 34 hat-tricks in his career so far, and 20 of them came for FC Bayern Munich, where he won 8 Bundesliga and one Champions League titles. With 6 UCL hat-tricks, he is the player with the second most hat-tricks in the competition's history, only behind Lionel Messi.
