With a “offensive” already in motion, Manchester United is prepared to pay €60 million to acquire defender Kim Min-jae from Napoli this summer.
According to Corriere dello Sport, a deal can be reached if Manchester United contact the club at the end of the current campaign.
They go on to say that Cristiano Giuntoli, Napoli’s director of football, is preparing for a busy year, with several of the Italian team’s prized assets possibly being targeted by major European clubs.
Kim is one of them, and the only option is to discuss a deal if Manchester United “knocks with their feet” while holding a €60 million offer for the defender.
Although there hasn’t been any direct communication between the parties involved, it has already begun, and it is thought that the transfer “could be done quickly.”
Although Napoli would be sorry to see the defender go, they understand that there is a significant capital gain on someone they paid €18 million for a year ago.
Manchester United is very interested in him and is “waiting to know the real amount” they’ll have to pay to sign him, a transfer that looks more and more likely given the player’s impressive season.
