Jose Mourinho, coach of Roma, one of the Serie A teams in Italy, made statements at the press conference held before the match against Napoli. The experienced coach said that while he was coaching the English team Tottenham, they were interested in Fenerbahce’s Kim Min-Jae, but the club did not take the South Korean defender and said:
The player was worth 10 million euros at that time. Tottenham offered 5 million euros. The deal could have been made for 7-8 million euros, but Tottenham could not spend money. I also FaceTimed the player 2-3 times from the phone. He wanted to come too, but didn’t. Now he plays for Napoli.
26-year-old Kim Min-Jae came to Fenerbahçe in 2021 from Chinese team BJ Guoan for 3 million euros. At the beginning of the season, the yellow-dark blue team sold their successful defense to the Italian team Napoli for 18 million euros.
