According to reports, Manchester United are preparing a €60m offer to sign Napoli star Kim Min-jae in the summer transfer window.
The Korean defender played a key role in helping Napoli win the Serie A title for the first time since 1990 after a 1-1 draw with Udinese earlier this week.
He replaced Kalidou Koulibaly in Luciano Spalletti's backline after the Senegal defender left Chelsea last summer, and has been one of Europe's best centre-backs earlier this season.
Earlier this season, Jose Mourinho said he wanted to sign Kim when he was Tottenham manager - but the club have not approved a move.

“There are a lot of transfer stories around me, but I have only been at Napoli for six months.
