What is the future of Kim Min-jae. Rumors of a transfer and recruitment of competitors are making people dizzy.
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 requested information on Kim Min-jae." he said.
Rumors of Kim Min-jae's transfer appeared a month ago. Reporter Florian Flettenberg, who plays as a transfer market expert for Germany's Sky Sports, said "Kim Min-jae is not considered an irreplaceable player for Bayern Munich. Bayern has no intention of actively selling Kim but is ready to hear an appropriate offer in the transfer market this summer.
Another expert familiar with Bayern's internal news, Christian Polk, said, "Bayern is planning to go with Kim for now, but if a club appears to pay 50 million euros (about W80.8 billion), the possibility of Kim's transfer in the upcoming summer transfer market will increase." he analyzed.
When Kim Min-jae appeared in the transfer market, several clubs immediately paid attention. Santi Auna, a reporter from Foot Mercato in France, said "Kim Min-jae has left open the possibility of leaving the team this summer. Several Premier League (EPL) clubs, including Chelsea and Newcastle, have already spoken with Kim Min-jae's agent about a potential transfer. Italian Serie A league clubs also expressed interest. Kim Min-jae prefers to move to a new league and EPL is his preferred destination, he reported.
Fabrizio Romano, famous for his "HERE WE GO" About three weeks ago "Kim Min-jae has a clear chance to move to Bayern in the summer if there is a good offer for both the club and the player. Kim Min-jae is not an absolute being. Several European clubs are being informed about his situation ahead of this summer's transfer window. It is understood that Saudi Arabian professional league clubs have also begun inquiring about Kim Min-jae's situation. I am considering him as an option" he said.
Considering the transfer fee Bayern wants from Kim Min-jae, EPL will inevitably be considered a realistic destination. This is because there are not many teams in the world that have the financial capacity to pay about 50 million euros to center backs.
As reporter Auna said, if he is interested in Chelsea and Newcastle, Kim Min-jae is not expected to be too difficult to become the main player. Chelsea has players such as Levi Colwill, Wesley Fofana, Benoit Badiashil and Tosin Adarabioyo, but they are considered a lower level than Kim Min-jae. It is a team in London, England, and has a chance of advancing to the European Champions League (UCL) next season.
The situation is similar in Newcastle. There is a clear main centre-back duo of Fabienne Cher and Dan Burn, but Cher and Byrne are veterans entering their mid-30s. In terms of skills, Kim Min-jae can overwhelm the two players. Newcastle, who are preparing for the UCL challenge, will be able to invest a lot of money in the centre-back.
Juventus, a shaky master, is a team that has consistently been interested in Kim Min-jae. This is because there is general manager Cristiano Ji Wontoli, who recruited Kim Min-jae from Naples. General manager Ji Wuntoli has consistently wanted Napoli winners since heading to Juventus. Juventus also needs a player to center the defense, so Kim Min-jae will be a great help.
Inter Milan have been linked to Kim Min-jae since last season. Inter Milan, led by Simone Inzaghi, are the toughest team to compete. There are a lot of great centre-backs, including Alejandro Bastoni, Benjamin Pavard, Stefan de Vry and Francesco Acerbi. Still, Kim Min-jae will be able to be competitive enough.
Good clubs are paying a lot of attention, but Kim Min-jae has no intention of leaving. So far it has been revealed that it is.
The situation is not only positive for Kim Min-jae. This is because Jonathan Ta, who almost wore a Bayern uniform last summer, is likely to be recruited. Tata, a German national centre-back and one of the Bundesliga's top centre-backs, is leaving Bayer Leverkusen this summer.
Bayern decided to pursue other recruitment with Eric Dier leaving the team and Hiroki Ito's return date from injury unclear. Reporter Flettenberg said on his personal SNS on the 13th that "Bayern's possibility of recruiting another player was internally approved. All financial conditions were discussed with the player. All leaders, including Vincent Kompany, want him. Now Bayern are only waiting for the final approval of the player and believe the chances are very high" he said.
If Ta is recruited, he will be a strong competitor for Kim Min-jae. With a new competitor expected to be added, Kim Min-jae's choice has become important.
