Tottenham is still watching Kim Min-jae (27, Naples).
On the 22nd (Korean time), Italian transfer market expert Rudy Galletti said, “Tottenham are interested in Alessandro Bastoni (Inter Milan) and Kim Min-jae. Milan Škriniar (Inter Milan) is a good substitute, but we need more time to know his future.”
Kim Min-jae was again on Tottenham’s recruitment list. Tottenham desperately need defensive reinforcements. Tottenham, who showed off a fierce momentum at the beginning of the 2022-23 season, has already fallen to 5th place. Looking at the recent momentum, we cannot guarantee a rise in the rankings. It is because of poor performance.
A loose rear is often pointed out as a weakness. Tottenham operate a three-back line that leads to Ben Davies, Eric Dier and Christian Romero. The defensive line they hold on to often lacks concentration. Mistakes soon lead to losses.
Tottenham is 6th with the most goals (31) in the English Premier League (EPL) this season. Southampton, who are likely to be relegated at the bottom, are recording 35 points. This is why the story of Tottenham’s defensive reinforcement is endless.
Tottenham, who need an outstanding center back, are still looking at Kim Min-jae. Tottenham was interested in Kim Min-jae even before he stepped on the European stage. Transfer rumors continued to circulate, but there was no concrete details. 메이저사이트
However, with Kim Min-jae dominating Italian Serie A this season, Tottenham seem to be showing interest again. Kim Min-jae, who wore a Napoli uniform in July of last year, boasted stable defense and build-up, and was reborn as the best defender in Italy.
It is unclear whether Tottenham will be able to sign him. This is because many big clubs such as Manchester United and Liverpool are considering signing Kim Min-jae. The two teams are likely to jump into the recruitment war more actively than Tottenham.
Moreover, his team, Napoli, started catching Kim Min-jae early. According to local reports in Italy, Napoli plans to present a new contract in March to remove the buyout clause inserted in the contract with Kim Min-jae. The intention is to block access from other clubs by increasing or eliminating the buyout amount known to be 50 million euros (approximately 67 billion won).
