Kim Min-jae labels Manchester United links as ‘nonsense’, Chelsea and Arsenal to battle over Everton star
Napoli center-back Kim Min-Jae has dismissed rumours linking him with a move to Manchester United.
The South Korean is enjoying his debut Serie A season after joining the Italian club for around £15 million from Fenerbahce in July.
He has played a key role in helping Luciano Spalletti’s team, which is on a high-speed chase for the title.
Kim, who has also been linked with Tottenham Hotspur, has said the rumours are far from the truth.
Goncalo Ramos
Meanwhile, the Red Devils are interested in signing Goncalo Ramos. The Portugal and Benfica forward, 21, has a release clause of 120 million euros (£105.6 million).
Luciano Spalletti: “I’ve seen few players in my life and career with the skills and qualities of Kim Min-jae. He’s incredible, always aggressive — he deserves to start every game”. 🇰🇷 #Napoli

David Raya
United will also consider signing Spanish goalkeeper David Raya, who is currently playing for Brentford.
Victor Osimhen
Chelsea are willing to splash £100 million in order to sign in-form Napoli striker Victor Osimhen.
The Blues are also in discussion with N’Golo Kante, 31, over a new two-year contract with an option for a one-year extension.
The London side are further said to be angry at their former manager Thomas Tuchel, who has expressed interest in taking English coach Anthony Barry to Bayern Munich.
Amadou Onana
Meanwhile, Arsenal and Chelsea are in a tight race to sign Amadou Onana of Everton. The 21-year-old Belgian has had an impressive start with the Toffees.

The Gunners will again attempt to sign Moises Caicedo of Brighton in the summer. The 21-year-old has been heavily linked with the current Premier League leaders in the past.
