TOP STORY: Kim Min-Jae open to Liverpool move

Napoli defender Kim Min-Jae is open to making the switch to Liverpool, according to Foot Mercato.

It is reported that the 26-year-old would be keen on the move if he was handed a key role in Jurgen Klopp’s side, though the South Korea international is currently focused on bringing the Serie A and Champions League titles to Naples.

Liverpool are facing a major revamp this summer amid issues in both their midfield and backline, as evidenced by Saturday’s 4-1 loss to Manchester City that leaves the Anfield mired the middle of the Premier League standings and with dimming hopes of European competition.

Kim has been a standout performer for Napoli but his performances also having caught the attention of Paris Saint-Germain. Arriving from Fenerbahce last summer, reports have indicated that he could be acquired for the release clause in his contract which is in the region of €48 million.

Napoli are said to be aware of the interest in his signature, and as a result are looking to sign him to a new deal that could raise the release clause to €90m. He has made 33 appearances across all competitions for them this season.
