Germany's Sportbild reported on the 21st (Korea time) that director Max Eberl won support for the team's formation plan from the board of directors.
Sportbild said 'Summer transfer plan approved. Dayot Upamecano is in negotiations to renew its contract until after 2026. As for Kim Min-jae, he said, "We will wait for proposals from overseas clubs. If an overseas club's proposal for Kim Min-jae comes in, the sale can be carried out." Christian Polk, a leading German journalist, also participated in the article.
Polk also recently said in a podcast that `Kim Min-jae seems to have withdrawn his previous position of wanting to remain in Bayern Munich. He also claimed that Kim Min-jae would also be open to a transfer this summer, saying, "I have conveyed to the club that I am open to a transfer." Germany's Bild also 'Transfer approval has been granted and the player has already been notified. 'The interest remains to be seen, but Kim Min-jae will now approach the right club for him, and he is ready to leave Bayern if the general manager approves Max Ebe.'

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.

Fabrizio Romano, an expert in the European soccer transfer market, also said, `Kim Min-jae has a concrete possibility to leave the team if he has a good offer for both Bayern Munich and the players. 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.
Leading German media have already acknowledged Kim Min-jae's departure, and later mentioned the possibility of Kim Min-jae's transfer. Reporter Polk said in April that Bayern is planning to transfer Kim Min-jae, and if a team appears to offer a transfer fee of 50 million euros (about 80 billion won), there is a possibility that Kim Min-jae will be sold in the summer transfer market. 'Bayern has Dean Ha-sun on its recruitment list, so Kim Min-jae's future may be more uncertain. The lower ship has a buyout clause of 60 million euros (about 96 billion won), which can be covered by the sale of Kim Min-jae, it said.
Leading German reporter Florian Flettenberg also said, `Kim Min-jae is not considered an untouchable player in Bayern.' Bayern is not planning to sell Kim Min-jae actively, but is open to a transfer if it receives an appropriate offer in the summer. Bayern will reinvest if Kim Min-jae leaves. Otherwise, Bayern will plan for the next season with Kim Min-jae, Dayot Pamecano, Hiroki Ito, Dyer and Josip Stanisi as centre-back options. 'The contract period between Kim Min-jae and Bayern is until 2028'

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. Recently, he lifted the trophy with the support of his teammate at the Bayern victory ceremony, confirming his solid position in the squad at Bayern. On the 18th, he held a ceremony to win the German Bundesliga in 2024-2025 season at Marien Square in Munich, Germany, and lifted 'Meister Chalet' in front of fans.
Bayern is considering selling Kim Min-jae. Attention is also focusing on whether Bayern's satisfactory proposal will arrive toward Kim Min-jae, who has already received attention from EPL and other overseas clubs.
