Two years ago, Min-Ja Kim was playing in the Chinese Super League in the uniform of Beijing Guoan. Today, however, the 26-year-old defender has transformed himself into a stalwart of the Napoli side in Serie A, and is on course to win the first Serie A trophy of his career. His outstanding performance has not only attracted the attention of many of Europe's top clubs, but also has the potential to make his fourth career leap from the Chinese Super League to Europe's top giants at the end of this season.
Minjae Kim has had two amazing seasons, transforming from a center back at Beijing Guoan to a starting defender in Serie A. He has started every game for Napoli this season, making 27 league appearances. After joining Napoli this season, he started every game, making 27 league appearances and all eight of his Champions League matches, becoming the center back of the team. This leap forward has made him worth ten times more in two years, and the transfer market has valued him at 50 million euros, with the actual transfer fee perhaps even higher. Statistics show that Kim Min Ja can contribute 1.6 tackles per game, ranking fifth, with equally good interceptions and clearances. As a defender, he also contributes a lot in goals and assists, header is Napoli rely on the means of attack. The English media revealed that Liverpool is interested in Kim Min Ja, and Manchester United is also expected to recruit him. His default fee of 40 million pounds is an insurmountable obstacle in the transfer market. Although Napoli have yet to give up on Kim, they are already working on a contract to increase his fee and salary. However, compared to European giants such as Manchester United and Liverpool, Napoli are not as attractive. Kim's future choice will determine the direction of his career.
