It is reported that Bayern Munich is close to recruiting Yonatantha, which could push Kim Min-jae.
Reporter Florian Flettenberg, who works for Sky Sports in Germany and is fluent in the transfer market, said on his personal SNS on the 13th (Korea time), "Bayern is currently discussing the final details of the transfer with agent Fini Zahavi." The club is still optimistic that a free-agent transfer will be made. Bayern has already reportedly approved the transfer internally. Other negotiations are being held separately from Leroy Sane's renewal of contract."
Bayern has tried to recruit other players since last summer's transfer market. Ta, who evolved once more under Bayer Leverkusen coach Xavi Alonso, was Germany's top centre-back in the 2023-2024 season. It was Leverkusen's first win in history and played a decisive role in winning the Bundesliga.
After the season, Tata wanted to move to a new club. Leverkusen wanted to hold on to Ta, but Ta had the opposite idea, with one year left on his contract. He was born in 1996, and when he entered his prime, he was willing to move to a big club and realize his bigger dream.
When Bayern approached last summer, Ta agreed to a transfer. It was before Euro 2024 even began that Bayern and other personal agreements were reached. However, Bayern and Leverkusen could not reach an agreement throughout the transfer market, and in the end, other transfers to Bayern were not made. Ta was very disappointed with Bayern, which did not recruit him because the transfer fee was a little waste. Ta, who will remain at Leverkusen, announced his separation from Leverkusen ahead of this summer.
Originally, I was likely to go to Barcelona. There has also been an agreement on salary and contract period, but Barcelona cannot afford to register players right now. As the negotiation with Barcelona was delayed, Ta began to receive attention from other clubs, and Bayern approached again.
Bayern needed a new centre-back as Eric Dier suddenly decided to leave for AS Monaco. Unlike last year, the supervisory committee, where Bayern's top leaders gathered, also approved the recruitment of other players. If others agree to the contract, they can go to Bayern. Manchester United is also reported to be seeking to recruit other players, but Bayern seems to be the team that currently has the most advantage.
If other players are recruited, there is a possibility that Kim Min-jae's position will be narrowed. This is because other players have been more stable than Kim Min-jae in terms of performance on the field over the past two seasons. In addition, Ta is a starting center back for the German national team. Ahead of the 2026 World Cup in North Korea and the U.S., German club Bayern is not expected to have its national centre-back on the bench.
If Ta is the main player, Kim Minjae is the main player It is in a position to compete with Upamecano. At present, Upamecano also seems to be in a better position than Kim Min-jae. Bayern is in a position to sell Kim Min-jae if an appropriate transfer fee comes in, but it is negotiating a renewal with Upamecano. Through this, it can be understood that Upamecano is evaluated better than Kim Min-jae.
From Kim Min-jae's point of view, who was born in 1996, if he spends more time on the bench, he has no choice but to consider a transfer. Since entering the professional stage, Kim Min-jae has never been pushed back from the main competition except for the second half of last season. Kim Min-jae's skills are too good to spend the season focusing on the bench.
Since there are already teams that want Kim Min-jae, it could be a situation where Kim Min-jae is also considering a transfer. Rudy Galetti, an Italian transfer market expert who works for various media such as Team Talk and TBR Football in England, said on his personal SNS on the 11th (Korea time), "Some British clubs, Saudi Arabian clubs, and Italian clubs including Juventus and Inter Milan asked for information on Kim Min-jae." he said.
There is information that the Premier League (EPL) clubs that have shown interest in Kim Min-jae are Chelsea and Newcastle United. Chelsea and Newcastle are teams that can leap to the starting lineup if Kim Min-jae moves. This is because they are struggling with the composition of the main center backs next season.
Juventus is in a situation where it has to reorganize its defense team to revive its reputation, and Inter Milan is currently very difficult to compete for the starting lineup, but there is a possibility that existing center backs will leave. There is no team that Kim Min-jae will not be able to take the lead.
First of all, Kim Min-jae's official position so far is that he does not consider escaping to Bayern. Kim Min-jae said, `There is no reason to leave. I hope to stay. Of course, we will have to watch the situation. I want to stay healthy next season"He has publicly expressed his desire to continue his career at Bayern.
