Manchester United interested in summer move for Napoliโ€™s Kim Min-Jae

Manchester United are interested in making a summer move for Napoli defender Kim Min-Jae.

Kim joined the Partenopei from Fenerbahce last summer after Napoli activated the South Koreanโ€™s release clause. Rennes were close to signing him but missed out on the chance, as the player chose Napoli. So far this season, the ex-Fenerbahce has arguably been the best centre-back in Serie A.

There has been talk of Kim signing a new deal with the Naples outfit and Marco Conterio has provided an update about the defenderโ€™s situation, saying that the Partenopei are set to make contact with the playerโ€™s entourage in the next few days. Napoli want to remove or increase the โ‚ฌ50 million release clause that currently exists in his deal.

Contact was previously made with Paris Saint-Germain but it is stated that Manchester United are keen on making a summer move for the 26-year-old.ย 

Juventus, the report states, were keen on signing him last summer but an issue pertaining to non-EU players slowed down their move. Inter were also close to sealing the deal for him but shifted focus to Bremer, who gave a positive response much quicker.ย
