Manchester United‘s interest in Napoli defender Kim Min-jae has been a hot topic in the football world. However, recent reports suggest that the Red Devils may not be as keen on the South Korean international as previously thought.
The Transfer Rumours
Kim Min-jae, a standout player for Napoli, has been heavily linked with a move to Old Trafford. The rumour mill went into overdrive when he reportedly bid farewell to his current club. However, sources close to Manchester United have downplayed these rumours, stating that a move for Kim is not as advanced as many believe.
Italian reports had suggested that United’s new manager, Erik ten Hag, was eyeing Kim as a potential replacement for Harry Maguire. Despite these claims, The Athletic reports that a deal for Kim is not on the cards at this stage.
United’s Transfer Strategy
While United have admired Kim for several years, dating back to his time playing in China, the club has reportedly ‘played down the prospect of an approach at this stage’. Instead, the club’s focus seems to be on strengthening their attacking line, with Harry Kane being their top transfer target.
United’s interest in Victor Osimhen of Napoli has also been noted. However, securing the Nigerian international won’t be cheap, as Napoli is not willing to let their star player go easily.
The Next Steps
As the summer transfer window approaches, United are also reportedly looking to sign a new midfielder. They had shown interest in Jude Bellingham, but the England international is now expected to leave Borussia Dortmund for Real Madrid.
