Kim Min-jae, a defender for Napoli, has been mentioned in a Mark Goldbridge response to a Manchester United transfer update.

What has Goldbridge to say regarding the transfer update regarding Kim?
Despite the ongoing takeover saga, the Red Devils appear to be preparing for the summer window. Kim appears to be a potential defensive addition over the coming months and the club’s top defensive target. Erik ten Hag previously approved sales for Harry Maguire and Victor Lindelof.

After meeting with the player’s representatives a few weeks ago, reports in recent days have claimed that United has now presented the Napoli defender with a contract offer.

Goldbridge responded to the most recent Old Trafford rumour on Twitter and looked pleased. He claimed that Raphael Varane’s rival, South Korea’s Kim, would be a “perfect signing” and that he has been harping on the subject of Kim for some time.

Really wish to accept the rumours. has long been on about him. Perfect addition to challenge Varane.

Ready to submit a bid
The club has a bid ready to go for July 1 when the player’s release clause, which is estimated to be between £43 million and £52 million, goes into effect, suggesting that Old Trafford officials are serious about bringing Kim to the Premier League this summer.

Given his performances this season, it is understandable why United would want to sign a player like Kim. The 26-year-old, described as a “extraordinary defender” by teammate Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, was instrumental in Napoli’s Serie A championship campaign.

Kim has been the team’s top-rated defender, according to WhoScored, with an average match rating of 7.10/10, the highest rating of any United defender. In addition to making an astounding 80 passes per game with a 90.8% completion rate, the Napoli star has averaged more clearances than any of his teammates.

You can therefore understand why Goldbridge would want someone like Kim to move to Manchester before Ten Hag’s second season in charge, and it appears that the team is working arduously behind the scenes to make a deal happen.
