The agent of Napoli centre-back Kim Min-jae has revealed the South Korean international is more likely to join Manchester City than Manchester United.

Min-jae has been one of Napoli’s most important players this season and a release clause in his deal – which is active from July 1-15 – allows overseas clubs to prise him away for a fee of around €52m (approx. £45.6m) this summer.

Min-jae’s agent Vincenzo Morabito told Kiss Kiss Napoli: “The fans shouldn’t get angry.

“It’s normal that we talk about the transfer market now. Kim? I think Manchester City is more likely than United.”

Min-jae has made 33 Serie A appearances this term, helping Napoli secure their first league title since 1990, with five games to spare.
