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 showed interest when it was confirmed that Targa would leave Leverkusen on a free contract in the upcoming summer transfer market. Bayern, Real Madrid, and Barcelona, which had 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 the transfer is expected to proceed quickly as Bayern succeeds in a personal agreement.

With the recruitment of others, Kim Min-jae's position in the next season is more likely to falter. The possibility of Kim Min-jae's sale has been steadily discussed recently. Bayern Munich is disappointed in Kim Min-jae, Germany's Bavarian Football Works said. It seems to be a candidate for sale in the transfer market this summer. Bayern Munich expected a lot when it recruited Kim Min-jae two years ago. However, he is being mentioned as a candidate for sale. Kim Min-jae also doesn't mind moving if he receives an attractive offer. He said he took the criticism at Bayern Munich to heart.

Despite his injury this season, Kim Min-jae contributed greatly to Bayern's victory by defending the team's defense until the end of the season. He showed a good performance by reversing the criticism he had heard from the second half of last season to the beginning of this season. Kim Min-jae, who was pushed back from the main competition under Thomas Tuchel, has become the main center back under Coach Bang Sang Kompany this season.

However, the injury held back. It was an injury that continued from October last year. At the time, the German media reported that Kim Min-jae had an Achilles tendon problem during the match against Frankfurt in October last year. Even during the winter break, the inflammation does not appear to have been removed' Kim Min-jae has been complaining of ankle pain since early October. There is a problem with the Achilles tendon. If Kim Min-jae's Achilles problem worsens and he is absent for a long time, this would be the worst-case scenario.'




Kim Min-jae couldn't leave. At the end of the season, Upamecano and Ito were out in succession, and Kim Min-jae had to play without a break despite his injury. In the process, he was criticized for his performance problems, but Kim Min-jae quietly played and defended Bayern's defense. He played 3,593 minutes in 43 games, effectively holding out the amount of game digestion that was almost overworked. In the end, only after the season was almost over and the championship was almost confirmed, coach Kompany was able to decide on Kim Min-jae's break. With Kim Min-jae's rest, Bayern was able to enjoy more joy as it confirmed the championship. Kim also became the first Korean soccer player to win two titles in Europe's top five leagues.

He is not untouchable. Many European clubs are aware of the situation, and Saudi Arabian clubs have also begun inquiring about the recruitment of Kim Min-jae, explaining that both Europe and Saudi Arabia are interested in Kim Min-jae.

Kim Min-jae wants to stay despite Bayern's review of sales possibilities. In an interview with Sport Bild, Germany, Kim Min-jae said, `I have suffered a lot in seven months. But I have 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 expressed his intention to stay in Bayern.
