The search for a creditable option to replace Kim Min-Jae who has joined Bayern Munich is one of the priority of Italian Serie A champions, OwnGoalNigeria.com reports.
Bayern Munich trigged the release clause of €50m contained in the contract of the 26 year old, who was key to the team lifting the Serie A title for the first time in 33 years.
He was voted the best player in the Serie A in what was his debut campaign and only in the league. Replacing him has become a priority considering the role he played for the team last season.
Former Germany youth international Felix Uduokhai is one of the names on their list after he refused a new deal at German side Augsburg. His decision has left the club with no option but moving him on this summer as they risk losing him for free, with one year left on his deal.
Twice approached to switch allegiance to Nigeria by former coach of the Nigerian team Gernot Rohr, the 25 year old is reportedly interested in the move, although he has other options to consider.
