Kim Min Jae's peculiar reason that separates him from United, surprises fans

Manchester United is preparing for a transfer window that could catapult them to the highest level in Europe, as Erik ten Hag's objectives are aimed at a resurgence of the club that will lead them to end Manchester City's hegemony in the Premier League and compete with the best European teams in the Champions League. To achieve this, they have set their sights on one of the most sought-after defenders, South Korean Kim Min Jae.

Kim Min Jae, 26 years old, was crowned champion of the Serie A with Napoli, being a fundamental piece to achieve the Italian championship, reason that has led him to be sought after by the best teams in Europe. Although his current team is also looking to convince him to stay in Napoli.

The South Korean defender is on the radar of several important teams, but several reports point out that Manchester United has taken the next step and would be willing to pay Kim Min Jae's contract termination clause, which is 60 million euros, to bring him to Old Trafford next season.

The player would also be keen to join Manchester United and be managed by Erik ten Hag, who sees him as the ideal replacement for Harry Maguire. However, before the Red Devils can pay the release clause to steal the Napoli defender, the player will have to perform a service to his country, as he will have to complete his military service.

Heu Min Son also did his military service

Tottenham star Heu Min Son had to perform his military service in 2020. The Spurs winger got a reduction in his service time due to his participation with the South Korean national team. Meanwhile, Kim Min Jae will have to spend at least three weeks in military service before he can sign for Manchester United.
