[골닷컴] Reporter Park Moon-soo = It is the news that Manchester United’s interest in Kim Min-jae is taking shape.
Kim Min-jae is the hottest defender in Serie A in Italy in the 2022/23 season. He erased the traces of Kuli Bali, considered a living legend. His influence is considerable. He is also said to be like a defender who has played in Italian Serie A for several years.
Naturally, rumors of a transfer arose. Manchester United are the biggest players in the Premier League. The transfer fee is said to be around 50 million euros.
The reason for the transfer rumors even at the beginning of the season is because of the ‘buy-out clause’. Reports have been raised that Min-jae Kim has a buy-out from the Turkiye media. In Italy, the buyout is said to be triggered following the season, not in January.
In this situation, ‘Calcio Napoli 24’, which mainly deals with Napoli news, quoted Italian transfer expert Fedulla’s remarks and announced that Manchester United were watching Kim Min-jae.
According to the article, ‘If Kim Min-jae comes to market, Napoli will be able to receive more than double the transfer fee’. Napoli invested 20 million euros to sign Kim Min-jae. It is only natural that big hands are interested as they performed well together with their entry into the big leagues.
The destination mentioned as a destination is Manchester United. In the case of United, they have paid large sums of money to sign a central defender. Lisandro Martinez and Rafael Varane alone are not enough.
Calcio Napoli also said: ‘If United want to solve their central defender problem, a sum of €50m or £50m won’t be a problem’.
The media continued, ‘It would be ideal to remove the Kim Min-jae buyout clause by mutual agreement following the season. It takes time to arrive at a solution. A central defender is always a rare position to sign.”
Naples’ position is firm. At least it doesn’t look like there will be a transfer this winter. As he continues his lead race, the chances of sending a key defender are slim. However, if the buy-out amount is triggered following the season, he cannot catch it even if he wants to. The ideal scenario would be to delete the buyout amount. The two sides will reach an agreement before the end of the season.
