Manchester United are reportedly preparing a surprise move for Napoli defender Kim Min-Jae after reports he has a £42m release clause
According to Corriere dello Sport in Italy, United are considering a move for Kim as Erik ten Hag looks to strengthen his defensive line. The Napoli star is expected to be active in the 15-day window in the summer transfer window and United would be quick to secure his signature. The Italian giants are said to be keen to extend Kim a new contract that would see his release clause rise to £57million, but he could be tempted by a move to Old Trafford.
The 26-year-old South Korean has impressed for Napoli this season to propel Napoli to the top of Serie A. Kim and his teammates are now 15 points clear at the top of the Italian league.
United will be in the market for a central defender this summer. Although the Ten Hag have ruled out the departure of Lisandro Martinez, Harry Maguire and Victor Lindelof have not had much playing time in recent games and it seems they are starting to look at an escape route from Old Trafford.
The Serie A leaders will play Empoli, Lazio and Atalanta in Serie A, before playing their second leg in the Champions League round of 16 on March 15 against Eintracht Frankfurt.
