Bayern Munich spent more than 3 billion won to use German national defender Jonathan Ta a month earlier.

The German daily 'Kicker' reported on the 7th (Korea time) that the transfer fee to Leverkusen is exactly 2 million euros (about 3.2 billion won) after Munich was eliminated from the quarterfinals of the FIFA Club World Cup in 2025.

Munich acquired Ta from Leverkusen on a free agent through this summer's transfer window. The contract will begin on July 1. However, Munich negotiated with Leverkusen to take advantage of other players at the Club World Cup, which opened in June. That's how 'Free' player was recruited for 2 million euros.




The effect was minimal. Ta remained anxious, contrary to the prediction that he would push out Kim Min-jae 'Monster Defender'. You can excuse yourself that you are not familiar with Munich-style soccer, but your personal skills were also poor.

Munich, which won the round of 16 in second place in the group stage, won 4-2 after a slugfest against Brazil's Flamengo in the round of 16. That was it. In the quarterfinals against Paris Saint-Germain on the 6th, they lost 0-2, and suffered elimination.

The Tawa Dayot Upamecano centre-back combination dedicated a total of four goals in two tournament matches. Kim Min-jae, who is recovering from an Achilles injury, was included in the replacement entry for the first time against Paris Saint-Germain, but did not play.




Expectations for others cooled down through the Club World Cup.

Kim Min-jae, who contributed to the team's first Bundesliga championship in two years by playing as Kongpani's main center back last season, is expected to be a transfer. Local media reports that Munich can send it as long as the transfer fee is right. The plan is to recruit a special winger for Kim Min-jae's transfer fee. Kim Min-jae became a link with Newcastle, Inter Milan, and Juventus.

If Kim Min-jae stays next season, fierce competition with others is expected to be inevitable.
