Amid reports that South Korea's national central defender Kim Min-jae will be released by Bayern Munich next season, his partner Dayo Upamecano is likely to renew his contract.

On the 15th (Korea time), Sky Sports in Germany is a defender against Bayern Munich 'New negotiations are underway between Upamecano in the direction of extending the contract through 2030' it reported.

Negotiations have been stalled over the past few weeks, but the mood has recently turned positive, and both sides are said to be actively discussing an extension contract.

However, the details of the new contract terms are still being finalized, and negotiations are ongoing.

Upamecano is currently under contract until June 30, 2026, and is expected to remain in Munich for up to 2030 if extended.

It's bittersweet news for Kim Min-jae.

The German kicker announced on the same day that Bayern Munich will make a major reorganization of its squad this summer.

Munich is trying to cover up a disappointing season with a trophy, and is starting to clean up around high-paid players who have performed below expectations.

Kim Min-jae is also among the targets to be sorted out. Leon Goretzka and Serge Gnabry were mentioned together.

Kim Min-jae has played with an Achilles tendon injury since October last year. His performance dropped sharply at the end of the season and was pointed out as the cause of his elimination from the UEFA Champions League.

Eric Dier, who is in a similar situation to Kim Min-jae, left the team early. AS Monaco announced the recruitment of Eric Dier on the same day.

AS Monaco is very pleased to announce the recruitment of "Dear" on its official website. Dyer is expected to join on July 1st"The contract lasts for three years and runs until June 30, 2028"

Dier played as a backup defender for Munich. This is because Upamecano and Kim Min-jae have secured their positions as central defenders.

Kim Min-jae is also expected to look for a transfer site as soon as possible in the same situation as Dyer. It is necessary to listen to the interest of Italy's Serie A and the English Premier League (EPL). Juventus and Inter Milan are mentioned as the most active teams in recruiting Kim Min-jae.
