Kim Min-jae has written a message thanking the Napoli supporters for the ‘love and support’ they have shown him over the course of this season, following the announcement of his transfer to Bayern Munich on Tuesday afternoon.

Along with a video showcasing some of his finest moments in a Napoli shirt, Kim the following message on instagram: “Hello, this is Minjae Kim. I send this message to all the Napoli fans who have shown love and support.

“No matter where I will be or no matter where I go, I will remember Napoli and cheer for you. Grazie. Forza Napoli sempre.”
