Napoli center-back Kim Min-Jae recently revealed he is ‘disturbed’ by transfer rumors linking him to the exit door, having only just arrived last summer. However, there seems to be no respite for the South Korean as additional reports have linked two Premier League giants with a move for him.
According to Corriere dello Sport (via TuttoNapoli), Manchester United and Liverpool are two heavyweights in the fray for the highly-rated Napoli stopper. The two teams want to take advantage of the notorious release clause that applies to non-EU players – valid from July 1 to 15.
