German giants Bayern Munich have emerged as the leading candidate to sign Napoli’s talented central defender, Kim Min Jae. This potential transfer comes as a blow to Manchester United, who were previously thought to be frontrunners in securing the South Korean’s signature.
Kim Min Jae, often referred to as “The Monster,” has been attracting attention from several top European clubs with his impressive performances in Serie A. The South Korean has proven himself to be the presence at the heart of Napoli’s defense, displaying great physicality, aerial abilities, and excellent positioning.
Manchester United had been keen on bolstering their defensive options, and Kim Min Jae’s profile perfectly aligned with their requirements. The Red Devils were believed to have been in advanced talks with Napoli over a potential transfer, with negotiations reportedly progressing well.
