‘Top class this fella’ but ‘Can’t see it happening’ – Man City fans react as club join United and Liverpool in race to sign ‘sensational’ £40m star

Manchester City fans have been reacting to a post on Twitter which relays a report that claims the club have joined the race for Napoli’s Kim Min-Jae.

The 26-year-old defender only joined Napoli ahead of this campaign, costing the club £15 million. But he is well on his way to helping Luciano Spalletti’s side win the Scudetto this term.

Kim Min-Jae has emerged as one of the most highly-rated centre-halves in Europe this season. No team has conceded fewer goals in Serie A than Napoli. So it should not be a great surprise that several teams have their eye on the “sensational” defender.

According to The Sun on Sunday (23/4; page 67), a number of Premier League sides want to land the South Korean after his superb year at Stadio Diego Armando Maradona.

The report suggest that Manchester United, Liverpool and Tottenham are in the running to sigh the South Korean international.

However, the Sun add that Manchester City have joined the race. Pep Guardiola is a fan of the former Fenerbahce star. And it is noted that Kim has a release clause of just £40 million.

The South Korean has shown his qualities in Italian football since joining Napoli and the opportunity to test himself in the Premier League could be a tempting proposition for him.

The report shared on Twitter gathered a number of replies from a wide range of Man City supporters.

Quality player.

@Komps4: “Top class this fella.”

@successosahen: “He’s one of the best Defenders in the world. And no one can even debate it. I’ll be bold to say he’s even the best defender in the world at the moment. I’ve not seen any like him in my years of watching professional football.”

@xvinnywx: “Can’t see it happening. We have an awful relationship with Napoli and I’m sure we said we wasn’t gunna do business with them ever again.”

@JakePritchardFC: “We don’t do business with Napoli.”
