Manchester United have been beaten to Kim Min-jae transfer by Bayern Munich as Bundesliga champions agree personal terms with Napoli defender ahead of triggering the release clause of €50m deal.

The korean centre-half starred in Serie A. He has seen his stock soar over the course of the last 12 months, with a move to Italy made during the summer of 2022. He became a Serie A title winner last season and also graced the World Cup finals in Qatar 2022.

 Premier League giants Manchester United did appear to be leading the racefor Kim's signature at one stage, as they mulled over a big-money move, but the 26-year-old now appears destined to head for Germany according to multiple reports by Fabrizio Romano.

Bayern are said to have a five-year contract in place for Kim at the Allianz Arena, with those terms set to take him through to 2028. All that is required now is for the German title holders to trigger the release clause that exists in Kim's contract.

Kim is available for €50 million this summer during a window that opens on July 1 and ends on July 15, with Bayern ensuring that they have everything in place before that clause becomes active. United, meanwhile, will need to turn their attention elsewhere if they want to acquire another centre-half.

Torres emerged as one of Unai Emery's top targets early in the summer transfer nwindow. The move will see the left-footed centre-back reunited with Emery, the pair having worked together at Villarreal.

Villa have already agreed a deal to sign Youri Tielemans on a free transfer following his exit from Leicester City. They are also interested in a move for Leeds United midfielder Tyler Adams.

Torres was a key player for Villarreal last season, making 39 appearances as the club finished fifth in La Liga to secure Europa League football next season.

He has 23 caps for Spain and was part of the squad at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
Torres is set to join Tyrone Mings, Ezri Konsa, Diego Carlos and Calum Chambers as Villa's senior centre-back options according to Fabrizio Romano. If he completes a move to the West Midlands, Torres will be Villa's first signing since they appointed Spaniard Monchi as their sporting director earlier this month.

In Football Transfer News, PSG have agreed a sum of €50m deal for Lucas Hernandez with Bayern Munich, who is set to replace the defender with Napoli's Kim Min-jae. He is all set to become a Paris Saint German player on a permanent transfer.

The Ligue 1 champions will pay a transfer fee of around €50m to sign the player from the Bundesliga giants, according to Fabrizio Romano. The player has already arrived in Paris and is likely to sign his new contract at the club this week.

With the French international defender set to move out of the club, Bayern Munich will replace him with South Korean defender Kim Min-jae who is set to join the club from Napoli for €50 million.

The 27-year-old defender had a difficult outing for club and country during the 2022-23 season. His season was ended prematurely during the 2022 World Cup when he tore his ACL during France's opening match of the tournament against Australia. He appeared in just 11 matches for Bayern Munich in all competitions, scoring once and provided as many assists.

European treble winners in men's football history

Till now, 9 European clubs (Under UEFA) have managed to win a treble, which includes the premier national league competition, the main national cup competition, and the UEFA Champions League/UEFA Europa League.

European treble winners in men's football history

In football, a team wins a treble when they win three major trophies in a single season. Winning the continental treble means winning the premier national league competition, the main national cup competition, and the main continental trophy, for UEFA, which is the UEFA Champions League or UEFA Europa League.

Though winning the Europa League is also considered a treble, it is not accepted wholeheartedly by the pundits and fans as winning the UEFA Champions League. 

Till now, 9 European clubs have been able to win the continental treble. Before we discuss all the European treble winners in men's football history, we must know about the types of Trebles we have in football. 

Barcelona is the only club to win multiple trebles with both their men's and women's team, completing the feat in 2024.

Continental treble

This is considered the actual treble in football where a team go on to win the national league, national cup competition and the main continental trophy. Celtic Football Club in 1966-67 became the first team in football history to win a Continental treble. Till now, 22 men's teams have won the Continental Treble, with 30 being the total number of times. In Europe, only 8 football teams have been able to accomplish the feat.

Domestic treble

Generally, for most of the footballing nations, winning a domestic treble is not possible since they do not allow first-division teams to win any secondary cup or league. A domestic treble includes winning three national competitions, including the national league title, the national cup competition, and one secondary competition. Countries which were under British or French possessions once allowed domestic trebles to happen. Celtic with 8 domestic trebles, and Rangers, with 7, are the most successful teams when it comes to winning domestic trebles.

Internazionale won two of their three trophies back in the 1960s. Since then, they have been having a disappointing year in and year out. Their recent UCL title was in 2009-10 when Jose Mourinho took charge. They were not the favourites in that season, yet they went on to win the UCL.

Jose Mourinho at that time was emerging as one of the best coaches in the world. He played typical defensive football, frustrating his opponents, which created mistakes. They capitalised on those mistakes and went on to win their 3rd Champions League. They defeated the heavyweights Barcelona in the semis and Bayern Munich in the final to clinch their title.

Tottenham Hotspur vs Manchester United 2024-25 UEFA Europa League final: Spurs lift the Europa League 2025 beating United by 1-0; First trophy for Son Heung-Min | sportzpoint.com

Hello and welcome to our LIVE coverage of Tottenham Hotspur vs Manchester United in the 2024-25 Europa League final at the San Memes Stadium.

Both teams have endured disastrous Premier League campaigns, currently reeling at 16th and 17th respectively, and face the threat of missing out on European football altogether, unless they win this final.

For United coach Ruben Amorim, who replaced Erik ten Hag mid-season, it’s a last shot to salvage a turbulent spell marked by 18 Premier League losses; a club record. Tottenham, meanwhile, haven’t lifted silverware since 2008, and their 21 league defeats this season mark a new low. Coach Ange Postecoglou, in his second year, sees this as a vital chance to finally deliver on Spurs’ long-unfulfilled potential.
