Liverpool Expected to Launch Assault for Kim Min-jae

Napoli center-back Kim Min-jae has been shining in his first season in the sky blue colors, perfectly replacing Kalidou Koulibaly in Luciano Spalletti’s back four and attracting the attention of top European clubs.

The South Korean stopper is close to receiving a contract extension proposal from the upper management, but that hasn’t stopped transfer links from arising. According to Rai Sport (via Calciomercato), Liverpool have joined Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester United in targeting the ex-Fenerbahce man.

The Reds are reportedly prepared to lavish more than €60M for Min-jae, who currently has a clause of €45M attested to his name.

Min-jae has proved to be untouchable alongside Amir Rrahmani, as the center-back duo continues to master Serie A en route to just a third Scudetto title in the club’s history. The 26-year-old has 35 appearances for the Partenopei this season and is expected to stay put at the club for next season.
