Manchester City Eye Late Transfer Hijack for Kim Min-Jae, Napoli’s Star Defender and Serie A Winner
Recent reports suggest that Napoli defender Kim Min-Jae, who was close to signing for Bayern Munich, could now be the subject of a late transfer approach from Manchester City.
Football Insider states that Pep Guardiola’s treble-winning Cityzens are enticed by the opportunity to disrupt Bayern Munich’s efforts to secure the signing of South Korea’s talented centre-back.
Kim Min-Jae played a crucial role in guiding Napoli to their first Serie A title since 1990 during the previous season. At just 26 years old, he has emerged as one of Europe’s top central defenders. As a result, there is significant demand for his services, with a release clause of approximately £50 million set to be activated next month.
Manchester City’s Potential Intervention for Kim Min-Jae
While Kim Min-Jae had been heavily linked with a move to Manchester United, failed negotiations led to the Red Devils withdrawing their interest. This withdrawal seemingly opened a clear path for Bayern Munich to secure the defender.
However, recent reports indicate that Manchester City may have different plans and is considering making a late move for the talented defender.
