According to recent reports, Manchester United and Liverpool, two of the biggest clubs in the English Premier League, are both vying to sign South Korean centre-back Kim Min-Jae from his current club, Napoli. The 24-year-old defender, nicknamed “The Monster,” has made a name for himself in the Italian league and he is now attracting the attention of several top European clubs.
With Manchester United currently searching for a new central defender, Kim Min-Jae is believed to be one of their top targets. The team has struggled defensively this season, and manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is reportedly looking to bolster his backline by adding more solidity.
Liverpool, on the other hand, are also in need of defensive reinforcements. The Reds have been hit hard by injuries this season, particularly in their defence, and manager Jurgen Klopp is reportedly keen to add some depth to his squad. As per reports from TheKoptimes, Liverpool were monitoring the player for quite a long time now and they want to finish the deal asap.
Kim Min-jae is seen as a promising young talent who has the potential to make an impact in the Premier League. He is known for his physicality, aerial ability, and his impressive ball-winning skills, making him a perfect fit for the demands of English football.
It is believed that Beijing Guoan would demand a fee of around £13 million for the defender, which wouldn’t be a problem for both Manchester United and Liverpool.
However, both clubs will likely face competition for Kim Min-jae’s signature. Italian giants AC Milan are also said to be interested in the South Korean, but playing in a world stage like Premier league may push the star to sign for either Liverpool or United.
Recent transfer news from WeAllFollowUnited states that United are bit ahead in the race to sign the player as they are ready to trigger the release immediately.
