Rumors of Kim Min-jae's transfer are burning once again.
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.
It was last month when rumors of Kim Min-jae's transfer began to emerge. About a month ago, Florian Flettenberg, who works for Sky Sports in Germany, said, `Kim Min-jae is not considered an irreplaceable player for Bayern Munich. Bayern are not actively looking to sell Kim but they are ready to hear an appropriate offer in the transfer window this summer,' he said, reporting that Bayern could release Kim.
Reporter Christian Polk, who is fluent in Bavarian internal news along with reporter Flettenberg, also mentioned the possibility of selling Kim Min-jae. He added, `Bayern plans to go with Kim for now, but if a club wants to pay 50 million euros (about W80.8 billion), the possibility of Kim's transfer in the upcoming summer transfer market will increase"It was once said.
The news that Kim Min-jae was in the transfer market immediately connected to several clubs. Several clubs, including Juventus, Chelsea, Newcastle United and Inter Milan, have reported that they have shown interest in Kim Min-jae. However, there was no full-fledged movement, perhaps because it was a busy time to finish the season.
Kim Min-jae also told Sport Bild in Germany "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 said he did not want a transfer.
Still, Bayern's position is that it will send Kim Min-jae if only an appropriate proposal is possible. Journalist Galetti said "Bayern Munich is willing to sell Kim Min-jae this summer if an appropriate offer is made. There is no in-depth discussion yet, but interest is growing," he added.
Kim Min-jae moved to Bayern a year later after becoming Italy's top Serie A center back in Naples in the 2022-2023 season. In Bavaria Forming a center-back duo with Upamecano, he was heavily trusted by former coach Thomas Tuchel.
Unfortunately, Kim Min-jae was pushed out of the main competition due to his poor performance after visiting the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Asian Cup. Difficult times have passed for Kim Min-jae, with Tuchel openly criticizing Kim Min-jae for making mistakes.
Since Vincent Kompany's new appointment, Kim Min-jae has gained full trust again. He led Bayern to the top of the league with a stable defense. However, Kim Min-jae suffered an Achilles tendon injury in October last year. Rehabilitation was needed, but all other center backs left due to injuries, forcing Kim Min-jae to play with injuries.
Kim Min-jae got tired under an unreasonable schedule, and his injury did not improve. In the end, the performance was a little shaky in the second half. Then, rumors of the sale immediately emerged, and despite winning the Bundesliga, he was unable to spend it in a happy mood.
Another reason why Bayern's possibility of selling Kim Min-jae is growing is the rumor that Bayern will recruit Jonatantha. Reporter Flettenberg said on his personal SNS on the 10th that "Bayern has entered into detailed negotiations with Ta and his agent. Ta is now Bayern's number one defensive target. Max Eberle, Bayern sporting director Christophe Freund and Kompany are all seeking to sign him," he reported. Kim Min-jae's position is expected to shrink further when other players are recruited.
