The agent of Napoli star Kim Min-jae has claimed that Manchester United have previously been interested in signing the defender amid ongoing reports linking him with a move to Old Trafford.
The South Korea international, 26, has been linked with a move to United in recent weeks following a stellar debut campaign in Italy. Kim joined Napoli from Turkish side Fenerbahce last summer and has quickly established himself as one of the most sought-after defenders in Europe.
He has helped Napoli clinch their first Serie A title since 1990 and reach the Champions League quarter-finals this season, highlighting the impact he has had on their backline and team as a whole. It is understood that he has a specific release clause in his contract that, if triggered before a certain date, would see him leave the Italian champions for much less than he is current market value.
