Tottenham are prepared to reignite their interest in Napoli centre-back Kim Min-Jae this summer, sources have told Football Insider.

Spurs have previously tried to sign the 26-year-old South Korean centre-back, but saw their bids rejected by the Serie A club.

However, the decision could be taken out of Napoli's hands this summer, with Kim's contract including a £43million release clause for two weeks in July.

Tottenham

Football Insider sources revealed on Friday (17 March) that Man United are preparing a £143m swoop for Napoli duo Victor Osimhen and Kim.

The North London side are ready to rival the Red Devils for the in-form Napoli star this summer.

Kim has made 34 appearances for the Italian giants this season, helping them to a commanding 18-point lead in Serie A while also reaching the Champions League quarter-finals.

He has played a huge part in Napoli conceding only 16 league goals in 26 matches this season.

Liverpool are also interested in Kim this summer and are prepared to meet his release clause, meaning his future this summer lies on the contract offers prepared by each club.

Tottenham

Champions League qualification will be vital in persuading Kim to join in the summer, and currently Tottenham and Man United possess spots in the Premier League's top four.

However, Newcastle United and Liverpool are poised to contest Tottenham's fourth-placed spot after Antonio Conte's side threw away their lead to draw 3-3 with Southampton on Saturday.
