TOP STORY: Man Utd remain keen on Kim Min-jae
Manchester United are closing in on a move to sign Napoli centre-back Kim Min-jae, according to Calciomercato.
The Red Devils are set to exercise the 26-year-old’s release clause that can be activated between July 1 and July 15, and that will allow them to acquire him for a fee of €60 million.
A meeting is reported to have already been held between the Old Trafford hierarchy and Kim’s representatives, where they have reached an agreement over personal terms on a contract worth €7m-per-season — drawing a close to talks that have been ongoing over the past two months.
Napoli, who secured their first Scudetto win in 33 years last season, have been expecting interest in Kim to surface and are already looking at 19-year-old Atalanta star Giorgio Scalvini as a potential replacement.
Kim made 45 appearances for the Azzurri across all competitions in the recent campaign.
