The 19-year-old Hellas Verona center-back who has made 18 Serie A appearances and notched one goal in the process for his Italian club during the 2019-20 campaign but the defender still has more two years contract at Stadio Marc'Antonio Bentegodi.
Kumbulla made his international football debut for Albania in October 2019 despite able to feature the Italian national team because he was born in Peschiera del Garda.
According to Tuttosport report that Manchester United have joined the race to sign the Hellas Verona defender in the summer with Manchester City and two Bundesliga sides Borussia Dortmund and Eintracht Frankfurt are interested in him as well.
