According to a report by Christian Falk, Manchester United and Liverpool are interested in signing Bayern Munich defender Kim Min-jae. The South Korean defender has been linked with a move away from Bavaria and has attracted the attention of the two English sides and recently crowned kings of Europe, Paris Saint-Germain (PSG).
Speaking on the Daily Briefing (via PSG Talk), Falk revealed that the two English sides were considering a move for defender, saying:
Kim Min-jae joined Bayern Munich in the summer of 2023 from Napoli for a reported €50 million fee. He has represented the Bavarians 79 times since his arrival and helped them win one Bundesliga title. His contract with the club runs until the summer of 2028.
According to a report by Portuguese publication O Jogo (via CaughtOffside), Manchester United and Liverpool are set to compete for the signature of Portuguese defender Gonçalo Inácio. The 23-year-old Sporting CP defender is highly rated by both clubs and seen as an addition that could improve their defense.
Inacio has spent his entire career to date with Sporting CP after coming through their youth ranks, making 213 appearances for the club. He is a versatile footballer, capable of deputizing on the left side of the defense or in holding midfield.
Manchester United would hope to convince the defender to join them, given the relationship he enjoyed with their current head coach and former Sporting CP boss, Ruben Amorim. The 23-year-old played 187 games under the Portuguese tactician before the manager left for Old Trafford in the middle of last season.
Liverpool, on the other hand, would hope they can lure the defender with the promise of Champions League football and their recent Premier League win.
Inacio’s contract runs until the summer of 2027.
Patrick’s favorite team is Manchester United for their unparallelled legacy and success in the game. He is a big admirer of Michael Carrick and his ‘smooth’ style of play back in the days. His favorite manager is Jose Mourinho, who according to him, brought a ‘swagger’ to football with his unique managerial style. Robin van Persie’s title-winning volley against Aston Villa for the 2013 PL triumph is etched in his memory forever.
Patrick always uses trusted outlets that produce accurate, balanced and fair information, and which present multiple point of views. He believes in reporting in a holistic manner for the readers’ benefit. If he could change a football rule, he would increase the number of substitutions allowed due to the high number of games played these days, to reduce injuries and so that youngsters get to show their talent as well.
When not covering football, Patrick loves reading, writing poems and short stories, and spend time with his dog Lana.
