Juventus has left out of interest in recruiting Bayern Munich defender Kim Min-jae. If he leaves, he is more likely to head to the English Premier League (EPL).

Spain's Pichahes reported on the 22nd (Korea time) 'Juventus' interest in Kim Min-jae has cooled down'

Kim Min-jae has recently received a lot of attention due to rumors of a transfer. The news began from a leading reporter, which attracted more attention. Florian Flettenberg, a reporter from the German version of Sky Sports, Germany, who is familiar with Bayern news, began by mentioning the possibility of Kim Min-jae's sale.

"Kim Min-jae is not considered an untouchable player in Bayern," Flettenberg said on the 15th. "Bayern does not plan to actively sell Kim Min-jae, but he is open to a transfer if he receives an appropriate offer in the summer." Bayern will reinvest if Kim Min-jae leaves. Otherwise, Bayern will plan for the next season with Kim Min-jae, Dayot Upamecano, Ito Hiroki, Dyer and Josip Stanisi as centre-back options. 'The contract period between Kim Min-jae and Bayern is until 2028'

Christian Polk, a reporter for Bild, said on the 17th that Bayern plans to transfer Kim Min-jae, and if a team appears to offer a transfer fee of 50 million euros (about 80 billion won), there is a possibility that Kim Min-jae will be sold in the summer transfer market. 'Bayern has Dean Ha-sun on its recruitment list, so Kim Min-jae's future may be more uncertain. The lower ship has a buyout clause of 60 million euros (about 96 billion won), which can be covered by the sale of Kim Min-jae, it said.

The problem of performance could not be seen as direct, but the situation was intertwined. Kim Min-jae started in the 29th round of the Bundesliga against Dortmund in the 2024-2025 season at Allianz Arena in Munich, Germany, on the 13th, but was criticized for his regrettable mistake in the second half. In the third minute of the second half, Dortmund striker Maximilian Bayer scored a header. At that time, Kim Min-jae missed the buyer and provided an excuse for the loss. Since then, criticism has flooded in.




When the prospect of Kim Min-jae appearing in the transfer market emerged, interest from various clubs soon poured in. Santi Auna, a leading reporter from France's Foot Mercato, reported on his personal SNS on the 18th that `Chelsea and Newcastle contacted Kim Min-jae and expressed interest.' Youna said 'Kim Min-jae is very willing to leave Bayern this summer. I'll be happy to hear the offer' he added.

Reporter Flettenberg also 'Kim Min-jae is likely to leave the club in the summer. According to the news, the 28-year-old is getting market attention. Three clubs, Chelsea, Newcastle, and Juventus, are showing interest in the Korean national team, he said, acknowledging the interest of the three teams. Kim Min-jae already repeated this situation last summer. Rumors of a move to Manchester United, Inter Milan and AC Milan emerged as Bayern's position faltered.

In the meantime, news emerged that Juventus, one of Kim Min-jae's candidates for recruitment, has stopped paying attention, and Kim Min-jae has put more weight on the possibility of heading to EPL in the future.




Pichahes said 'Juventus needs to strengthen its squad in the summer transfer market, and it also showed interest in Kim Min-jae. Kim Min-jae is likely to appear in the summer transfer market. However, according to the news, Juventus did not contact Kim Min-jae quickly. Journalist Mirko Dinatale, a member of Tutoyube, also said on his personal SNS that Juventus had no in-depth contact with Kim Min-jae, adding that Juventus was not very interested in Kim Min-jae right away.

That may be good news for Kim Min-je. Juventus is one of the most prestigious teams representing Serie A, but if Kim Min-jae went to Juventus, he cannot avoid criticism from Napoli fans, his former team. Juventus and Napoli have long been bitter rivals, especially Napoli fans' antipathy towards Juventus is enormous. Gonzalo Higuain, a world-renowned striker who was loved by fans for his outstanding performance in Napoli in the past, was later branded a traitor by fans when he moved to Juventus.

At that time, Napoli fans expressed a strong backlash, such as burning Higuain's uniform or threatening to kill him. Moreover, if Kim Min-jae, the hero who gave Napoli a league championship for the first time in 33 years, wears a Juventus uniform, fans' anger may explode even more. However, as Juventus cooled its interest, the possibility of a problem situation virtually disappeared.

Meanwhile, unlike Juventus, the interest of EPL clubs seems to be getting hotter little by little. England's Newcastle Toon has contacted Bayern defender Kim Min-jae's agent ahead of the summer transfer window. Newcastle have stepped up their defence and can sign a proven European star. Kim Min-jae is considering moving to a new league. Returning to Serie A has not been ruled out, but the top goal is to advance to the EPL. Newcastle see Kim Min-jae as a key player to reinforce their defense, which has struggled with injuries throughout the season'

Then 'Calmness, aerial control, and top-notch experiences in both Serie A and Bundesliga can be provided. Proficient in rear play, perfect for Eddie Howe's system as he plays on a high defensive line. Bayern is expected to negotiate if it is willing to withdraw its initial investment of nearly 50 million euros. Newcastle expressed keen interest in recruiting Kim Min-jae, whether it is a loan or a full transfer.

Chelsea, who are also listed together, is also interested. The British Chelsea News reported that `Kim Min-jae can break Chelsea's rules, but he can be perfectly suited to the team.' Kim Min-jae is one of the most high-profile centre-backs in Europe after a superb performance for Napoli two years ago. Chelsea's leadership said it could break the rules aimed at young players to recruit elite players.

In fact, Chelsea reportedly considered signing Virgil van Dijk to add experience to the squad in the upcoming summer transfer market. Interest in Kim Min-jae is also likely to take place in the same context.

Along with the possibility of Kim Min-jae's transfer, interest in destinations is continuing. Attention is also focusing on which clubs will reveal their intention to recruit Kim Min-jae by the upcoming summer.
