Bayern Munich said it would sell Kim Min-jae unconditionally.
Germany's Sport Bild said on the 21st (Korea time) 'Since last Monday, Bayern's Box Ever Sports Director has received full support for this summer's squad reorganization plan. After explaining his transfer market plan to the board of directors, the plan was officially approved', indicating that the transfer market would flow as planned by the sports director.
Among the transfer market plans shown to the club's board of directors by Ebele was the sale of Kim Min-jae. Sport built is ' Negotiations with Upamecano continue to be held over how to extend the contract beyond 2026. In the case of Kim Min-jae, the club is in a position to wait for proposals from overseas clubs. Kim Min-jae joined Napoli in 2023 for a transfer fee of 50 million euros (about 78.4 billion won) and played in 43 games this season.
The news was based on information from reporters Christian Polk and Toby Altcheple, who are very good at news inside Bavaria. The information of the two reporters can never be ignored because it is very reliable. The situation is not very good because rumors of Kim Min-jae's sale are gradually becoming more concrete.
Kim Min-jae became the best defender in Italy's Serie A with his world-class performance in Naples in the 2022-2023 season. After leading Napoli to a championship for the first time in 33 years, he transferred to Bayern by paying a huge transfer fee of 50 million euros.
Former Bayern coach Thomas Tuchel used Kim Min-jae as the main player along with Upamecano, and the Korean center back played a key role in Bayern. However, Kim Min-jae was overworked amid a string of fellow center backs, and his performance faltered after going all the way to the 2023 Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Asian Cup. After entering the middle and second half of the season, he was pushed out of the main competition. He was criticized intensely for making several big mistakes.
Since Vincent Kompany's appointment to Bayern, Kim Min-jae has regained trust. Japanese national center back Hiroki Ito was recruited, but Kim Min-jae formed a main center back duo with Upamecano as he was absent for a long time due to injury.
Kim Min-jae, who continued to play well, suffered an Achilles tendon injury in October last year. It was a fatal injury to the center back, but Kim Min-jae played the game as he was given painkillers due to injuries to other center backs. The aftermath of the Achilles injury continued throughout the season, and Kim Min-jae, who played a crazy schedule this season, eventually shook his performance little by little again in the second half of the season. Still, it cannot be denied that Kim Min-jae played a decisive role in Bayern's league victory this season.
In May, the club gave Kim Min-jae a break. This is for the Club World Cup, which will begin in mid-June. Kim Min-jae showed an overwhelming performance than Hiroki and Josip Stanisic, who did not help much due to injuries, but is suffering from rumors of his release.
Bayern is already confident of recruiting a substitute for Kim Min-jae. Yonatanta, who was also trying to recruit last summer, is the main character. Sport Bild said 'Bayern Board of Directors gave Ebele 'Greenlight' for the recruitment of others. This is in contrast to Leverkusen's refusal to transfer 25 million euros (about 39.1 billion won) in August last year because it judged that the transfer fee was too high,' he explained.
Bayern has already reportedly offered another a 3+1 year contract. Ta is awaiting Barcelona's final offer but is likely to move to Bayern in the end. Ta has been a very outstanding player in the Bundesliga for the past two seasons as a German national centre-back. Bayern's final plan is to sell Kim Min-jae, who will be pushed to the bench after recruiting another.

Bayern even cut the transfer fee to sell Kim Min-jae. Kim Min-jae, who boasts a ransom of 45 million euros (about 70.5 billion won), can be sold for as much as 30 million euros to 35 million euros (about 47-54.8 billion won). However, Bayern is worried about the boomerang that Kim Min-jae will transfer to another Bundesliga club and return, so it will only accept offers from overseas clubs.
After rumors of his release, Kim Min-jae was connected to English Premier League (EPL) clubs such as Chelsea and Newcastle United and Italian big clubs such as Juventus and Inter Milan. However, Italian clubs will not be able to afford Kim Min-jae's high salary. If you head to overseas clubs, the possibility of financially relaxed EPL has increased.
Kim Min-jae's official position so far remains in Bayern, but the situation is increasingly going unfavorably.
