Germany's Bayern Strike announced on the 27th (Korea time) "Bayern Munich is ready to hear suggestions for Kim Min-jae this summer and has named a player as his potential replacement."," he said.
Bayern Munich's new defender is Thomas Arauju, a defender of Benfica, Portugal.
Bayern Munich strengthened their defense by signing Jonatantha this summer. However, Ta, who was considered Kim Min-jae's replacement, has not shown a proper performance. It's reminiscent of Eric Dier at a slow pace.
The media, in conclusion, claimed to be a replacement for Tagah Dyer. Of course, it is expected to play a much bigger role than Dyer of last season.
Including others Bayern Munich, including Upamecano, Kim Min-jae and Hiroki Ito, secured a large number of central defenders in preparation for next season. Currently, there are no plans to recruit additional central defenders, but the situation may change if Kim Min-jae leaves the team.
Kim Min-jae has not shown a steady performance since moving from Napoli in 2023. Last season, his performance in the second half was poor due to an Achilles injury.
For Kim Min-jae this summer, Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) of the French League 1 and Juventus of the Italian Serie A are showing interest.

Arauju has been considered one of the best defenders in the Portuguese league over the past few seasons and has also attracted interest from English Premier League (EPL) clubs.
Benfica does not need to sell Arauju this summer. His contract is due in 2029, and the contract includes a buyout clause of 80 million euros (about 120 million won). Therefore, Munich will have to pay a significant fee to complete the transfer.
The problem is that Munich is more urgent to reinforce its offense than its defense. The lack of goal-scoring ability of the offense rather than defense last season was the main reason for the elimination of the UEFA Champions League. We should also prepare for the departure of Leroy Sane, one of the team's key strikers.
As a result, it will be difficult to spend a huge amount of money on recruiting central defenders. In the end, in order to recruit Arauho, it is necessary to seek a lower amount than the buyout, and there is a high possibility that difficult negotiations will continue.
