Kim Min-jae is just one step away from signing a contract with Manchester United

Kim Min-jae impressed in his first season in a Napoli shirt and was one of the important players who put in his efforts to win the title number 3 in the club’s history.

Arriving in July 2022 for €18 million from Fenerbahce, the 26-year-old South Korean made 35 appearances in the recently concluded Serie A season.

The defender has attracted the attention of several important Premier League clubs, most notably Newcastle and Manchester United, two teams who will play in the UEFA Champions League groups next season.

The English press writes that the Napoli player is in his homeland, where he is undergoing military training, and will return to Europe to agree a contract with Manchester United, who are the favorites for his transfer.

According to Transfermarkt, Kim Min-jae has a €60 million release clause at Napoli.
