In recent weeks, Man United have been heavily linked with a move for the highly coveted Napoli defender.

The agent of Napoli defender Kim Min-jae has refuted persistent rumors that Manchester United is close to signing the South Korean international.

The centre-back has been heavily linked to United in recent weeks, who will be looking to make another huge step toward securing Champions League qualification when they play Bournemouth at the Vitality Stadium on Saturday. If Victor Lindelof or Harry Maguire decide to leave the team, the Reds may look to sign a new central defender during the upcoming summer transfer window.

Following an outstanding debut season with Napoli, Kim is now regarded as one of the most sought-after center backs in Europe. He transferred from Turkish club Fenerbahce to the newly crowned Italian champions last summer, and he has had a fantastic first season at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona.

This week, an article from the Italian news outlet II Matino claimed that negotiations to sign the 26-year-old were moving forward and that Kim had been persuaded to sign with the Old Trafford team by middlemen in the process. However, his agent has dismissed these allegations, stating that the defender is only concerned with finishing the season as successfully as possible with Napoli.

The agent of the Napoli defender told Star News, “The transfer to Manchester United is not true. Kim Min-jae is right now concentrating on finishing the season.

“Neither the Champions League qualification status for the English Premier League nor the final standings have been determined. No need to get up and go.”
