Napoli reportedly accept that they may lose centre-back Kim Min-Jae this summer, with Manchester United and Liverpool taking interest in the 26-year-old.

Napoli have reportedly accepted that defender Kim Min-Jae may be sold in the upcoming transfer window, with the likes of Manchester United interested in the player.

The 26-year-old has been an integral part of a Napoli side who have won their first Serie A title since the 1989-90 season, having featured in 33 league matches for Luciano Spalletti's men.

Having played the entirety of his career in Asia before moving to Turkish giants Fenerbahce in 2021, it has been a rapid rise to the summit of Italian and European football for the South Korean.

According to 90min, Napoli are resigned to losing Kim despite previously insisting he would remain at the club past the conclusion of this summer's transfer window.

The report adds that the Serie A champions are reluctant to lose the defender, but would find it difficult to reject bids exceeding a value of £52m.

It is believed that Erik ten Hag's Red Devils, Liverpool and a number of top teams are keen on the centre-back after such a standout campaign in a title-winning Napoli side.

Kim and his Partenopei teammates still have four games remaining of their season, starting with a trip to Monza on Sunday afternoon in their penultimate away match of the campaign.
