The possibility of a transfer of a large Korean player to fill the vacancy in the English Premier League (EPL), where Son Heung-min left, was raised.

Britain's Spurs Web reported on the 9th (Korea time) 'Tottenham is eyeing another Korean star recruitment'

Spursweb said there was news that Tottenham were watching Bayern Munich's Kim Min-jae's situation this summer. There has been a big update on his situation recently. Kim Min-jae did not make it to Serie A in Bayern. The player's future is uncertain, and Bayern have not ruled out staying, but it is likely to be sold before the new season. Tottenham could get a chance to recruit Kim Min-jae if he is available.




The news was also reported from leading German journalist Christian Polk. Polk recently reported that he is interested in Saudi Arabia, especially Alnasr, saying that the future of Kim Min-jae in Bayern Munich is still uncertain. However, there was a more specific connection in the EPL. Tottenham and Chelsea are reportedly interested in Kim Min-jae. It remains to be seen whether the two teams will link their interest to an offer before the close of the transfer window.'

There is a possibility that Kim Min-jae will continue to leave Bayern after the 2024-2025 season. Despite his injury this season, Kim Min-jae contributed greatly to Bayern's victory by defending the team's defense until the end of the season. He showed a good performance by reversing the criticism he had heard from the second half of last season to the beginning of this season. Kim Min-jae, who was pushed back from the main competition under Thomas Tuchel, has become the main center back under Coach Bang Sang Kompany this season.

At the end of the season, he couldn't leave even though he was injured. Upamecano and Ito were out for the season in a row, and Kim Min-jae had to play without a break despite his injury. In the process, he was criticized for his performance problems, but Kim Min-jae quietly played and defended Bayern's defense. He played 3,593 minutes in 43 games, effectively holding out the amount of game digestion that was almost overworked.




However, rumors of a transfer continued. As the transfer market approaches this summer, news is emerging that he can continue to leave Bayern. Germany's Sportbild said 'Summer transfer plan approved. Dayot Upamecano is in negotiations to renew its contract until after 2026. As for Kim Min-jae, he said, "We will wait for proposals from overseas clubs. If an overseas club's proposal for Kim Min-jae comes in, the sale can be carried out."

Earlier, Fabrizio Romano, an expert in the European soccer transfer market, also said, `Kim Min-jae has a concrete possibility to leave the team if he has a good offer for both Bayern Munich and the players. He is not untouchable. Several European clubs are aware of the situation, and Saudi Arabian clubs have also started inquiries regarding the recruitment of Kim Min-jae.

Kim Min-jae is also something to worry about. Bayern is sure to be a good club, but steady participation and performance management are inevitably important ahead of next summer's World Cup. Interest in transfer can grow at any time depending on whether or not the main player competes.




There is a possibility that South Korea's best defender will head to the EPL, where Son Heung-min left. Attention is also focusing on whether Tottenham and other EPL clubs will be able to make suggestions that can attract Kim Min-jae.
