In terms of football, Raphael Varane isn’t a lock due to physical aches and pains, and Manchester United definitely needs a center-back. Harry Maguire might be on his way in the upcoming market.
Kim Min-Jae is under contract with Napoli until June 2025, but Aurelio De Laurentiis may accept a lower offer if it is enticing enough.
