Rumors are rife that Manchester United are eyeing Napoli defender Kim Min Ja with the intention of replacing Harry Magooni with him. However, The Sun has revealed that Napoli have offered the 26-year-old South Korean star a new contract, removing the £42 million (HK$410 million) liquidated damages clause. This indicates that Manchester United's plan to buy "Kim" at a high price may be blocked, while the Daily Mail revealed that United may turn their attention to another central defender of French Ligue 1 rivals Monaco, Assoudischas.
Min Ja Kim is the center of contention for a number of top clubs, with Manchester United being particularly keen on him. Napoli are attempting to strike while the iron is hot by trying to increase his asking price, but given that the center-back's current liquidated damages are only 42 million pounds, the club are trying to convince him to extend his contract and remove the liquidated damages clause so that he can be sold for a higher price.
