Napoli is eyeing a potential summer move to bring back defender Kim Min-Jae from Bayern Munich. The South Korean has struggled to replicate his earlier success since joining the Bundesliga giants, prompting the Italian side to consider a return.
Napoli's Interest in Kim Min-Jae
Napoli has expressed interest in reuniting with Kim Min-Jae, who made a high-profile move to Bayern Munich last summer. The defender, previously a key figure in Napoli's Scudetto-winning campaign, has failed to deliver consistent performances in Germany.
According to reports from CN24, Napoli is keen on bringing Kim back to the club this summer. Club CEO Aurelio de Laurentiis is reportedly spearheading the effort, looking to capitalise on Kim's underwhelming season at Bayern.
Challenges in the Potential Deal
One significant hurdle in Napoli's pursuit of Kim Min-Jae is the player's hefty wage demands. Kim currently commands €8.5 million per season at Bayern Munich, a figure that Napoli would find difficult to match.
Despite the interest in securing Kim on loan, negotiations could stall over the financial aspect of the deal. However, Napoli remains determined to explore all avenues to potentially bring the South Korean defender back to the Maradona.
