Kim Min-jae's popularity is soaring. There are a series of stories in England and Italy that they are targeting Kim Min-jae. Even if you look at the club side, there are many solid teams, raising the possibility of another all-time transfer in the transfer market this summer.

So far, the teams that are rumored to be transferring are Juventus in Italy's Serie A, Chelsea in the English Premier League (EPL), and Newcastle United. As all three clubs are large, transfers can be made easily if Kim Min-jae and Bayern Munich agree.

Germany's Bavarian Football Works quoted a report by Italy's La Gazette delosport on the 22nd (Korea time) saying that `Juventus is considering Bayern Munich's central defender Kim Min-jae as a candidate to reinforce its defense this summer.'




As Kim Min-jae has played for Italy's Serie A Napoli, he believes there is no problem in adapting. Juventus is a team that can be satisfied with the recruitment of Kim Min-jae as it was recognized as the league's best defender.

According to the media, Juventus needs to reinforce its defensive line this summer. Therefore, if Kim Min-jae decides to leave Bayern Munich, he will actively recruit. Juventus is a team that has to reorganize next season to regain its past glory. As he is not satisfied with his performance in fifth place in the league, a turnaround is needed.

Among the English teams, it was reported that Newcastle are preparing to transfer this summer by contacting Kim Min-jae's agent.




Earlier, Spain's Pichahes said Kim Min-jae is willing to leave Bayern Munich this summer, and Newcastle has already started informal contact.

Newcastle Toon also claimed Newcastle manager Eddie Howe wants a central defender with experience and physicality.

Kim Min-jae won Serie A in Naples in the 2022-2023 season, drawing attention as the world's best defender. After that, he moved to Munich and played well, but he made a mistake at an important moment at the end of this season and has been reduced to a target of criticism.




Kim Min-jae is under contract with Bayern Munich until 2028. It is known that it may meet the entire contract period, but it is also seriously considering new challenges.

The possibility of returning to Italy's Serie A cannot be ignored, but Kim Min-jae's top priority may be the Premier League.

Newcastle, who have been performing well this season, are a team that is one bit short. In the event of an injury due to a squad depth problem, there is a problem of holes in the defense. It is evaluated that Kim Min-jae can be a key resource to supplement this.

Currently, only main defenders Jamal Lascelles and Sven Boat are out due to injuries for Newcastle.

Newcastle prepare for a bigger leap next season. It plans to reinforce several positions in the transfer market this summer, and center back is one of the top reinforcement positions.

Coach Eddie Howe also prefers a tactic to raise the defensive line, so it is expected that Kim Min-jae will not have difficulty adapting. The build-up ability is also excellent.

In addition, news has been reported that Chelsea and Manchester United are interested in Kim Min-jae. Since there are many Premier League teams, if Kim Min-jae chooses to transfer, the destination is likely to be England.

However, Kim Min-jae himself may not prefer to leave Munich failing. Some say there is a possibility of staying in Munich next season and trying again.
