Munich cannot be seen as a powerful team as before. Moving to a big club can be an upgrade.
Germany's TZ reported on the 15th (Korea time) 'Kim Min-jae faces an uncertain future in Bayern Munich'
South Korea's national soccer player Kim Min-jae moved to Munich from Italy's Serie A Napoli two years ago. The club expected a lot by bringing Kim Min-jae, but now they are reportedly dissatisfied with Kim Min-jae's slow development.
Due to the disappointing reality, it is likely to be sold this summer. Currently, Kim Min-jae is said to be classified as a candidate for sale. It is reported that the player himself will not hesitate to transfer if he has an attractive offer. Kim Min-jae's current market value is estimated at 45 million euros (about 70 billion won).
Kim Min-jae is aware of the fact that he has been frequently criticized in Munich recently. It is said that they are keeping in mind the feedback they received from inside and outside. After an outstanding season in Italy's Serie A, Kim was considered a promising defensive leader, but he did not meet those expectations in Germany.
The media evaluated 'Frequent mistakes, lack of consistency, and repeated injury problems kept him slowing down.
In addition, the club itself is currently unhappy with the defense as a whole.
Bayern are preparing for a major overhaul of the central defence after Eric Dier left for AS Monaco for no fee. Bayern Munich management believes there is an urgent need for improvement on the current situation. The current defense, consisting of Kim Min-jae and Dayo Upamecano, is not meeting the high level demanded by Munich.
Key players in the new defense are emerging as the top priority for recruiting.

Finally, TZ said 'Bayern Munich wants to solve the defense's problems, and Kim Min-jae's transfer is never ruled out in the process'. The club is open to negotiations, and so is the player. There is no proper proposal at the moment, but he argued that the situation could be different after the start of the summer transfer market.
If you leave the team, you are likely to try a new league. Italy's Serie A and the English Premier League (EPL) seem to be the best options.
In Italy, Juventus and Inter Milan are interested in Kim Min-jae.
Juventus needs a turnaround next season as it has been performing unsatisfactory this season. Returning to a team challenging the championship race seems to be Juventus' top goal.
Inter Milan have reached the UEFA Champions League final this season. As it is a powerful team, it can be an upgrade, not a downgrade. The evidence is that Bayern Munich was humiliated by Inter Milan in the Champions League.
Chelsea and Newcastle United have been mentioned in the EPL. As they are large clubs, the transfer can proceed smoothly if Kim Min-jae and Bayern Munich agree.
