The butterfly effect left by Eric Dyer is on the verge of hitting Kim Min-jae.
Florian Flettenberg, a reporter familiar with the news of Bayern Munich, reported on his personal SNS on the 13th (Korea time) that `Bayern internally approved the financial matters related to the recruitment of Yonadanta.'
Flettenberg says 'The club's leaders want Taga to be Eric Dier's top replacement. It's offering an attractive long-term contract, and all that's left is final approval from others. A decision will be made soon. The club remains optimistic. He is Bayern's number one target for recruitment. However, Barcelona is still hoping to recruit other players despite financial problems.

Ta was one of the main contributors to the unbeaten victory for Berkugen last season. Despite being 195 centimeters tall, he defended the defense at a tremendous speed. In the German Bundesliga sprint record, he also ranked second among all center backs in the Bundesliga with 34.22km. Based on the speed, the back space of the Leverkusen was tightly blocked. He is continuing his performance this season as well. In addition to high speed, he shows strength in build-up, so if he maintains his skills, he is a player who is good enough to take the main role in European big clubs.
Ta initially received great attention from several clubs last summer as his contract with Leverkusen expired in the summer of 2025. Bayern were active. However, Bayern and Leverkusen failed to agree on the transfer fee, and the transfer failed. Since then, Bayern has endured this season with a combination of main center backs Kim Min-jae and Upamecano.
Once again, big clubs are showing interest when it is confirmed that Taga will leave Leverkusen on a free contract in the upcoming summer transfer market. In addition to Manchester United, Bayern, Real Madrid, and Barcelona, which have previously shown willingness to recruit, are also reportedly considering recruiting Ta as candidates. Among them, Bayern and Barcelona are most active in recruiting others, and Bayern is expected to gain more strength in recruiting players with the consent of the leadership. If only the other agrees, there is a good chance that the contract will be made quickly.

Bayern is inevitable to recruit defenders this summer. It's because of Dyer's departure. Dier is virtually confirmed to move to AS Monaco in the summer transfer market. Dyer has played a great role as a backup defender this season. He recently announced his departure from Bayern's championship match by hosting a farewell event. In addition to his performance, he was also recognized for his leadership to take care of the team's players. At the victory ceremony, he even grabbed Kim Min-jae's uniform and took care of him also drew attention. With Dyer's departure, recruiting backup defenders is essential. As it is unclear when Hiroki Ito, one of the existing backup resources, will return, the need to recruit has grown even more.
If another joins, Kim Min-jae's position in the next season may change. Bayern will have three main defenders, Kim Min-jae, Upamecano, and Ta, when it recruits other players. Although the three players may share their playing time evenly, it is difficult to rule out the possibility of affecting Kim Min-jae's competition for the starting lineup depending on his performance. As Kim Min-jae has expressed his will to stay in Bayern, if he joins, it will be essential to rebound in his performance to survive the main competition.
