     void Start () {
         Player = GameObject.Find("Player");
     }
     
     void Update () {
         transform.position = Vector2.MoveTowards(transform.position,Player.transform.position, speed*Time.deltaTime);

You can use Vector2.Distance to get the distance between two positions. Then, knowing this distance, you can decide whether or not to move closer. A basic example:

public float minDistance;	// you can set this in the Inspector

void Update()
{
	if (Vector2.Distance (this.transform.position, Player.transform.position) > minDistance)
	{
		transform.position = Vector2.MoveTowards(transform.position,Player.transform.position, speed*Time.deltaTime);
	}
}

You can also use Vector3.Distance for objects in 3D space. Vector2 just ignores the z-axis.
