William Hill: Manchester United are in trouble bringing in Kim Min-jae, and it has been revealed that Bayern are also going to join the competition, which makes the transfer not so simple.
Now Manchester United's quest for Kim may not be so simple, and according to Sky Sports reporter Plettenberg, Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich have now joined the race for the player.
Is Kim Min-jae going to Manchester United? The defender has had an incredible year in Napoli, Italy, this season and has seen the club win the Serie A title.
The 26-year-old has played a key role in that success, making more than 30 league appearances and even scoring a couple of goals and providing a couple of assists. This is his first season in the country, but he has already found his place in the Napoli backline.
In addition, he has proven himself to possess excellent ball control and easy play at the back. With 90With a pass completion rate of 2%, he ranks in the top 10% of players in his position, and the specific statistical range is those in the top league that are generally remembered. This shows that he is not only an outstanding talent in the domestic league, but also one of the best players in Europe.
This has led to a keen interest from Premier League side Manchester United, who have been keen to strike a deal. The move also looks almost complete, with reports that he will be in contact with Ten Hag's side on 1 July, with the Reds agreeing to pay him a valuable release clause and have already agreed to personal terms.
However, it should be noted that after that, it seems that the rumours between Manchester United and Kim Min-jae have started to fall silent, and no one knows what happened in the meantime, and it seems that the matter will really wait until July to officially finalize.
However, according to Plettenberg's report, there is now a race for his signature. Bayern Munich are keeping a close eye on the centre-back's situation and could make their own ** against him. The German giants seem to have "woken up" on Manchester United's desire for Kim, with the Red Devils now 'pushing' a deal to make new progress in the race to sign the player.
How is Kim Min-jae's game? The Napoli player is only 26 years old, but he is already an experienced player. In addition to his thirty-odd league performances at Napoli this season, he has also had significant performances at Fenerbahce in Turkey, making dozens of appearances for the title-chasing club. Prior to that, he spent a few seasons in Beijing Guoan and a few seasons in Jeonbuk. This means that he has accumulated a hundred league games in his career.
These rich experiences have led him to become the player he is today, and the defender has now earned the nickname "The Monster" for his performances. If United can complete the deal, they will get a player who can go straight to the backline.
Bayern are now likely to make a big shake-up this summer, with some players leaving, but more of the previous rumours have focused on the front line, but now it looks like Thomas Tuchel is planning to make some changes to the back.
There is news that Pavard may leave the team, but this news has not been confirmed, but considering the level of Kim Min-jae, and the fact that many Japanese players have played well in the Bundesliga, plus the previous South Korean players such as Son Heung-min, this will make the Bundesliga teams have extra confidence in Asian players, which may be why they have some confidence in Kim.
