Napoli are hoping they can persuade Kim to stay beyond the summertransferwindow, butManchester United, Newcastle and Paris Saint-Germain are all keen on landing him.
26-year-old Kim only joinedNapolilast summer to replace Kalidou Koulibaly, and he made an immediate impact as he was votedSerie AdefєɴԀer of the year, helping the club to their first Scudetto since 1990.
WhenNapolisigned Kim from Fenerbahce, they had to swoop fairly late in the window to beat Rennes to a Ԁєɑł. As part of frantic negotiations, they agreed to put a release clause in Kim’s Ԁєɑł which would allow him to leave for €50m in the first two weeks of July.
Napoliare desperate to keep Kimgiven the impact he had in his maiden campaign and have offered him a new contract, which would include significant pay rise but also remove this clause. Sources have confirmed to90minthat the defєɴԀer does not want to agree to this stipulation.
Kim’s representatives are continuing to hold talks with numerous suitors. It is believed their preference would be to join Man Utd, who are very much in the market for a new defєɴԀer as they look to move Harry Maguire on.
Premier League rivals Newcastle, who can also offer Champions League football, and PSG have also made contact with his camp in recent weeks.
Kim is currently back in South Korea undergoing part of his mandatory military service, but he is due back in Europe by July.
