According to this media, Kim Min-jae’s rating is 6.44, the highest among defenders. The gap with Chris Smalling (Roma), who ranked second with 6.31 points, is large, so it is highly likely that he will finish the season in first place.

Kim Min-jae plays a key role in helping Napoli concede the least goals in the league (22 goals) while playing a solid defense in the last line. He also provided a boost on offense, recording two goals and two assists.
Napoli was on the verge of winning the championship with a solid defense centered on Kim Min-jae and an offensive power that boasted the most goals (68 goals). Napoli will rise to the top after 33 years since the last 1989-1990 season, even if they record only one point in the remaining games.
Kim Min-jae is receiving attention from various clubs in the English Premier League (EPL) in recognition of Napoli’s performance. In the UK, Manchester City, Manchester United, Liverpool and Tottenham are expected to jump into the competition to recruit Kim Min-jae.
