Sevilla have reportedly identified Feyenoord's Marcos Senesi as a possible replacement for Jules Kounde, with the Spanish club expecting to lose the centre-back during this summer's transfer window.
Kounde has been in impressive form for the Europa League winners this term, and Manchester United are believed to have identified the Frenchman as their leading defensive target ahead of next season.
According to La Razon, Sevilla have accepted that it will be difficult for them to keep hold of the 23-year-old this summer, with Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain also said to be interested in his services.
The report claims that Julen Lopetegui's side are already preparing for life after the former Bordeaux youngster and have identified Feyenoord's Senesi as the ideal replacement.
United, who are said to be searching for a long-term defensive partner for club captain Harry Maguire, are allegedly prepared to spend £61m on Kounde during this summer's transfer window.
The Frenchman still has more than three years left to run on his contract at Estadio Ramon.
