• Napoli defender Kim Min-jae has courted interest from Manchester United ahead of the summer transfer window
• The Red Devils are reportedly planning a €60 million bid for the South Korea international
• The 26-year-old has been one of Europe's best defenders this season, having helped Napoli secure the Scudetto

Manchester United are reportedly preparing a summer bid for Napoli defender Kim Min-Jae.

United boss Erik ten Hag is keen to strengthen his squad at the end of the season as he seeks to challenge for more trophies.

The Dutchman is said to have identified defence as the key department that needs strengthening, with club captain Harry Maguire expected to be shipped out.

Reports suggest that the Red Devils have identified Kim Min-Jae as a top transfer target and have lined him up for a summer move.

According to Italian outlet Correire dello Sport, United are planning a huge offer to convince Napoli to sell the South Korean to them.

The publication claims the Old Trafford dwellers are plotting a €60 million bid to land the highly rated defender.

Kim Min-Jae helps Napoli win Serie A

Manchester United's reported plan to secure the services of Kim Min-Jae comes just days after the South Korean helped Napoli secure the Serie A.

Napoli secured the Scudetto for the first time since 1990 earlier last week after their 1-1 draw with Udinese.

Kim Min-jae joined the Naples side in the summer of 2022 from Turkish side Fenerbahce.

Sportbible reports that the 26-year-old was signed to replace Kalidou Koulibaly in Luciano Spalletti's back line after the Senegalese defender's departure to Chelsea last summer and has been one of Europe's top centre-backs this season.

Earlier, Sports Brief had reported how Victor Osimhen helped Napoli to become Serie A champions for the first time in 33 years, through his equalising goal against Udinese in the second half.

The Nigerian powered home a shot through the crowd after a scramble from a corner kick, to help Napoli hold on and seal the Italian league title away from home in Udine.

Napoli is now 16 points clear of second-placed Lazio with a maximum of 15 points left to fight for, meaning they cannot be matched or overtaken mathematically.
