Manchester United are set to complete the signing of Napoli defender Kim Min-jae when his release clause becomes live at the start of July.
Kim, 26, has been linked with a summer switch to Old Trafford for months despite only moving to Naples last year. The South Korean international enjoyed a tremendous campaign as he starred in the club’s remarkable Serie A title-winning campaign, but his contract contains a release clause which removes any negotiation process.
The central defender has a release clause in his Napoli contract, thought to be in the region of £43million, which significantly eases the signing process for United. This clause will only be active between 1-15 July, meaning there is a short window available to wrap up the deal.
