Despite a deal to Man Utd already being finalized, Newcastle has cemented themselves as the favorites to capture Kim Min-jae of Napoli.
A number of important Napoli employees will quit the company soon. The Serie A-winning manager Luciano Spalletti will be the first to leave, and he is scheduled to take a year off.
Prospects for center-back It's uncertain whether Kim Min-jae and the attacker Victor Osimhen will stay in Naples. United is interested in both players, and according to reports out of Italy, a deal to sign Kim is moving along.
Since his days in the Chinese Super League, Kim has been courted by the Red Devils. A deal for a contract that will pay him about £150,000 per week has reportedly been reached.
A release provision that goes into effect on July 1 and lasts through July 15 is included in Kim's current contract. According to Fabrizio Romano, the clause is worth little under €50 million (about £43 million).
According to The Sun, Manchester United may act quickly and pay a premium price to lock up the 26-year-old's signature. This would guarantee that a deal is completed before Kim returns to South Korea for a three-week stint of military service in late June or early July.
Then, according to Corriere dello Sport, Kim is willing to fly to Manchester for a medical. Later, Il Mattino said Kim's transfer to Man Utd was "done."
However, a recent update from Spain indicates that Newcastle is attempting to sabotage Man United's contract.
According to the BBC, Newcastle has entered the battle to recruit Kim and, surprisingly, they are "currently leading the race to secure his signing."
There isn't much information provided about Newcastle's efforts to sign the player, but it seems to imply that discussions about Kim joining Man United are not as far along as some in Italy are claiming.
Man United don't have an advantage in that aspect because Newcastle will play in the Champions League in the following season.
As a result, attention will be focused on what happens next for a player who, according to the source, will 'without a problem' adjust to playing in the Premier League.
That would be the second Manchester United's transfer deal that Eddie Howe's Newcastle United have been tipped to hijack ahead of the opening of the transfer window.
The season's last day has arrived, and Newcastle United has already locked up a top-four finish and a spot in the UEFA Champions League for the next year.
In order to overtake Manchester United and place third, Eddie Howe's team travels to Stamford Bridge to take on Chelsea. Regarding their continental qualifying, it makes little difference, but the pulling power that their participation in Europe's top tournament ought to give them in the summer window might make for an exciting summer.
The Magpies are rivaling the red half of Manchester not just on the pitch and in the standings, but possibly even in the transfer market, where they are predicted to persuade one Red Devils target to come to St. James' Park rather than Old Trafford. According to Sport Witness, who obtained this information from publications made in Italy, Newcastle United might persuade Adrien Rabiot to leave Juventus this summer.
Manchester United has had their eye on the Frenchman for some time, and they're likely to go after him once more this summer. If the rumors coming out of Italy are accurate, the Magpies may be able to disrupt those plans since Rabiot is reportedly "one of several players in the Juve squad" who are set to leave this summer.
This summer, his contract will expire, and'several sides in Europe' are allegedly prepared to make a move. SW claims that Newcastle is the club "ready to shower him in gold" and quotes news from France.
The fact that they are in the Champions League and have the financial flexibility to do so may be a major factor in convincing Rabiot to reject offers from other clubs and transfer to the North East. Additionally, it is said that the player and his agency will not make any decisions until the current season has concluded.
