Napoli prefer Kim Min-jae to Lazio’s Francesco Acerbi and Man Utd’s Eric Bailly | OneFootball

Napoli need a replacement for Kalidou Koulibaly, who has reportedly agreed to join Premier League club Chelsea on a five-year deal.

According to transfer guru Gianluca Di Marzio, Fenerbahçe defender Kim Min-jae remains Napoli’s first-choice transfer option to replace Kalidou Koulibaly.

The Italian club has been keeping tabs on the South Korean defender for a long time and sees him as a suitable replacement for Koulibaly.

Lazio star Francesco Acerbi has been recently linked with a move to Napoli. But neither he nor Manchester United’s Eric Bailly appears to be the priorities for the Naples-based side at the moment.

Napoli have reportedly signed Leo Skiri Østigård from Brighton and Hove Albion. But the departure of the Senegalese has resulted in the Italian club initiating a hunt for his replacement. As suggested by Di Marzio, Kim Min-jae could well be that replacement for the Serie A side.
