'Kim Min-jae's transfer is not the problem' → 'Naples falling to the middle table, anarchy'

There has been criticism of Napoli's performance this season.

Italian media La Repubblica claimed on the 22nd that Napoli's lackluster performance this season had nothing to do with breaking up with Kim Min-jae

The media outlet said, 'Two years ago, Napoli's decision to release their main players at once was courageous and successful. Spalletti and Gintoli chose to part ways with players like Koulibaly, Mertens, Insine, Ospina and Lewis, which has transformed the team and become a plus,' said Napoli president Lorenz. They thought they could compete for the league title despite saying goodbye to Spalletti after the victory. However, Napoli became anarchic and suffered greatly. Even if Kim hadn't left the team, it wouldn't have been enough to solve the problem. He said, 'The reason Napoli fell was not the sale of Kim Min-jae

Napoli is ranked eighth in Serie A with 13 wins, 10 draws, and 10 losses (49 points) this season. Napoli, which won the Serie A title for the first time in 33 years last season, is still active as its strikers, including Osimhen and Kvaracelia, who led the team to win the championship last season. On the other hand, there has been a gap in the defense line since Kim Min-jae left. Napoli, whose performance has plummeted from last season, has conceded 41 goals in 33 Serie A matches this season, more than Genoa, which ranks 12th in the league. Napoli has ranked third or higher in Serie A in seven of the last 10 seasons, but there are concerns that it will remain the worst in the last 10 seasons.

Napoli appointed Garcia when Spaletti, who led the team to the Serie A championship last season, left the team, but Garcia was replaced during the season due to poor performance in November last year. Machari was later appointed, but Machari was also replaced in February. Napoli, who dismissed two coaches this season alone, is under the leadership of Calzone.

Rumors have it that Napoli will return to the club recently. Italian media outlet Il Martino said on Thursday, "Kim Min-jae may return to the club after a year. Napoli are considering signing Kim Min-jae next season. The only possibility is a loan deal." He also said, "Kim Min-jae's high salary will still be a big problem. Kim Min-jae is paid 8.5 million euros from Bayern Munich, which is much more than Napoli can afford," predicting that Kim Min-jae will unlikely return to the club.
