It was really true that Saudi Arabian club Al Nasr was seeking to recruit Kim Min-jae. However, Kim Min-jae's destination has not been decided yet.
Santi Auna, a reporter for French media Foot Mercato, said on his personal SNS on the 11th (Korea Standard Time), "Al-Nasr is seeking to recruit Kim Min-jae from Bayern Munich. "The Saudi club has been working on recruiting in recent days and is working on an agreement with the squad," the report said.
Reporter Auna said, `Kim Min-jae, who had a rather disappointing season in Bayern, is already likely to seek a new path. Kim Min-jae, who is receiving strong attention from Al Nasr, is positive about the possibility of a transfer to Saudi Arabia. This is a move that could mark another turning point in his career as a former Napoli iron-wall defender."
It couldn't help but be shocking news. This is because it was difficult to predict that Kim Min-jae, the best center back in Korea, would choose to go to Saudi Arabia a year before the World Cup at a time when he was in his prime. Fans reacted differently because it was the first time that Kim Min-jae wanted to go to Al Nasr.
But more credible news has emerged. Reporter Christian Polk, who works for Sport Bild in Germany and is fluent in Bayern's internal news, said on his personal website on the 12th that Bayern Munich defender Kim Min-jae is likely to leave the team in the summer transfer market, and several clubs, including Liverpool, are competing for his recruitment. Liverpool can compete fiercely with Saudi club Al-Nasr. Al-Nasr explained that he is trying to recruit Kim Min-jae.
Reporter Polk said 'He played steadily last season, but Kim Min-jae has not been able to recreate what he showed during his Napoli days. The player also wants to leave. Saudia clubs are interested in Minjae, but there is no concrete development at the moment,' he said, adding that negotiations have not yet progressed.
There was also a content that Kim Min-jae wanted to go to Saudi Arabia, but this was close to speculative information. He said 'Kim Min-jae could welcome a move to Saudi Arabia. The Saudi big club could offer him a lucrative pay package, which might be difficult to turn down. Bayern is not yet sure whether Kim Min-jae wants to go to Saudi Arabia.
Al-Nasr is not the only option given to Kim Min-jae. Premier League clubs are lined up for Kim Min-jae. Reporter Polk added: "'Liverpool are likely to seek a new centre-back, with Joe Gomez and Jarrell Kwanzaa's future uncertain. Manager Arne Slot explained that he is likely to choose a younger profile than signing Kim Min-jae, whose value is expected to decline in a few years' time; Chelsea and Newcastle United are also interested in recruiting South Korean defenders. Paris Saint-Germain and AC Milan are also competing for Kim Min-jae,' he added.
