“The wall called KIM? Naples might break it”… Kim Min-jae ‘transfer fait accompli’ → follow-up

In a situation where the big clubs’ high interest in Kim Min-jae is already certain this summer, Napoli cannot help but think of a replacement.

Italian media Calciomercato reported on the 22nd (Korean time), “Naples can break the wall called Kim Min-jae.”

Calciomercato said, “Kim Min-jae is one of the outstanding discoveries this season. His value has soared to the level of 60 million euros (about 84.5 billion won) amid the interest of the Premier League. Manchester United, Liverpool and Tottenham are also looking to sign. The possibility of leaving is small, but the market is always uncertain,” he said, referring to the rising value of Kim Min-jae and the possibility of a transfer.

Kim Min-jae, who played for Türkiye Fenerbahce until last season, joined Napoli as a replacement for Kalidou Koulibaly, who left for Chelsea.

Even before his debut, Kim Min-jae has captured the fans’ attention with his stable defense and quick feet that protect the back space, and he is not pushed back even against top Serie A strikers, and is currently showing off his European top-class defense.

As Kim Min-jae’s performance continued, big clubs appeared that wanted him in half a season. Napoli is known to have included a buyout clause of 48 million euros (approximately 67.6 billion won), including at the time of contract with Kim Min-jae, and if it is not corrected, it is in a situation where it has to send Kim Min-jae at a bargain price after this season. 토토사이트

In the end, it seems that Napoli also started thinking about a replacement for Kim Min-jae.

Calciomercato said, “If Napoli can’t catch Kim Min-jae, they can turn their attention to another fast-growing player. Malik Chiau, who is far from sluggish and has been selected for the German national team, is the main character.”

AC Milan defender Chiau was discovered and recruited by AC Milan general manager Paolo Maldini from Schalke 04 ahead of this season. He often appeared on the bench at the beginning of the season and had a period of adaptation, and since last February, he has established himself as a clear starter in AC Milan’s defense.

Born in 2001, despite his young age, Chiau, who has excellent spatial understanding and positioning, has many similarities with Min-jae Kim, who is also excellent at tackling and providing power. Napoli seem to have found a promising defensive resource to fill Min-jae Kim’s void, as Koulibaly was replaced by Min-jae Kim.

Calciomercato said, “AC Milan wants a transfer fee of at least 20 million euros. However, because Chiau is a promising defender that Milan values, the intention to retain it is very strong.”

Meanwhile, Kim Min-jae and Chiau are also facing off against Napoli and AC Milan in the quarterfinals of the UEFA Champions League, respectively.

Attention is focusing on whether Chiau, who has been nominated as Kim Min-jae’s successor, will be able to capture Napoli’s heart by showing as good an activity as Kim Min-jae against Napoli, which boasts the strongest offensive power this season.
