Newcastle consider hijacking Man United move for £42m defender

talksport.com, 8 June 2023, 14:43
Newcastle are tracking Manchester United target Kim Min-jae, talkSPORT understands.

The Napoli centre back is attracting significant interest this summer with the defender holding a £42million release clause in his contract.

Erik ten Hag is particularly keen to activate that clause, however Man United now face significant competition from their Premier League rivals.

Newcastle are keen to bolster their squad ahead of the new season after securing Champions League football.

As a result, Eddie Howe's side are looking to add top-level quality in key positions with a central defender being among those targeted.

The South Korean international arrived in Europe in 2021 when he joined Fenerbahce for a fee of just £3m.

Kim has made 45 appearances for Napoli this term, scoring two goals in the process.
