Bayern is considered to be able to reorganize its defense team ahead of the next season. There are also transfers that have already been decided. Recently, news broke that Dyer is close to moving to AS Monaco, making it inevitable to recruit a backup defender. European soccer transfer market expert Fabrizio Romano even added the phrase "'Here we go' that Dier joined Monaco. Despite Bayern's offer to renew his contract, Dier reportedly decided to go to Monaco to be guaranteed time to play.
Kim Min-jae was also mentioned as a candidate for transfer. Rumors of a transfer emerged with the news that Bayern could sell Kim Min-jae at an appropriate offer. Germany's Sport Bild is 'Kim Min-jae's contract with Munich until 2028. There is a possibility that he will leave Bayern in the transfer market this summer. Bayern is open to all possibilities. Chelsea, Newcastle United, and Juventus have expressed their interest in recruiting Kim Min-jae.
However, Kim Min-jae wants to stay. In an interview with Sport Bild, he said "I've 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 willingness to stay with Bayern.

However, if Bayern starts to reinforce its defense after Dyer's transfer, there is a possibility that Kim Min-jae's position will falter even if he stays in the team. Moreover, the recruitment of Araujo, who is considered a key player in Barcelona, can also pose a big threat to Kim Min-jae.
Araujo is a Uruguayan defender and one of the top centre-backs in La Liga. Although the main position is a center back, it has an explosive main force that can play up to full back, and as a defender, he is highly regarded for his interpersonal defense ability. However, since joining Barcelona, injury problems have steadily occurred, and the possibility has recently been raised that Barcelona could sell Araujo. Bayern is aiming to recruit Araujo, paying attention to his future.
Bayern's interest in recruiting Araujo has brought more attention to the competition for the starting lineup of the defense next season. Attention is focusing on whether Kim Min-jae, who announced his stay, will be able to survive the main competition with new players or whether he will make a new choice this summer.
