Manchester City have joined the group of Premier League clubs that are interested in making a move for Napoli defender Kin Min-Jae in the summer.
The centre-back has had a fine first season in Italy after being signed as a replacement for Kalidou Koulibaly last summer.
Min-Jae has been an ever-present in a team that has run away with the Serie A title and even claimed the league's Player of the Month award in September.
Premier League rivals Manchester United, Liverpool and Tottenham have all expressed an interest in activating the £40million release clause of Napoli defender Kim Min-Jae.
And The Sun claim Manchester City have now joined them.
Kim, 26, is said to prefer a move to the Premier League, were he to leave Napoli after just one season.
Spurs hold a slight advantage given the presence of international team-mate Son Heung-min, but the emergence of City, Liverpool and United - as well as Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern Munich - has given the player and his representatives many options.
Napoli could look to remove the release clause - set at £39m (€45m) - by offering Kim a new contract less than 12 months after joining from Fenerbahce for £15m.
He has been a revelation for the Serie A club, who are currently 16 points clear at the top of table and set for their first title since 1990.

Man United won't buy an Asian player as much as they won't buy an African player like Victor Osimhen (Super Striker).... They are too focused on English players....
