English Premier League (EPL) teams are showing keen interest in national defender Kim Min-jae (27, Napoli), who recorded a career high this season. EPL’s Manchester United (Man United) and Manchester City (Man City) are sending love calls to Kim Min-jae.
Kim Min-jae, the first Korean to win the Italian Serie A, is a key player in Napoli’s defense. Kim Min-jae, who joined this season, started 32 out of 33 games in the ‘2022-2023 season Serie A’ and played 29 full-time. In particular, he played a key role in the team’s early victory by recording 1st place in passes (2411 times) and 2nd place in aerial competition wins (92 times).
Love calls from big clubs in Europe are continuing for Kim Min-jae, who won the championship after just one year of joining the club. It is known that Manchester United, Manchester City, Tottenham, Chelsea, Real Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), and Bayern Munich participated in the battle for Kim Min-jae.
Among them, Man Utd and Man City, who need to reinforce the center back, want Kim Min-jae.
British media team talk reported on the 14th (Korean time) that “Man City is ahead of rivals Manchester United in the competition to recruit Napoli center back Kim Min-jae.” Tim Talk said, “Emric Laporte (29, Man City) is about to leave Man City this summer. He wants to move to Tottenham or Barcelona. Kim Min-jae is a very good choice for that position.”
Contrary to this, there was also a report that Man Utd was ahead of the recruitment of Kim Min-jae. French media Foot Mercato said on the 13th, “Negotiations between Kim Min-jae and the club have already begun. Manchester United promised Kim Min-jae a much higher salary than Napoli.”
Kim Min-jae’s buyout (minimum transfer fee) is known to range from 43 million pounds (about 71.9 billion won) to 52 million pounds (about 87 billion won). For two clubs that need to reinforce their defense, it is not an amount to hesitate about Kim Min-jae’s transfer.
