Napoli defender Kim Min-jae, who is in talks to join Manchester United this summer, must complete his military service next month.
Kim, 26, has been linked with a summer switch to Old Trafford for months despite only moving to Naples last year. The South Korean international enjoyed a tremendous campaign as he starred in the club’s remarkable Serie A title-winning campaign, but his contract is believed to contain a €50million (£43m) release clause.
The Italian champions are said to be resigned to the possibility of defender Kim exiting this summer. They have identified Atalanta defender Giorgio Scalvini as a direct replacement in their squad for next season.
