A leading reporter opened his mouth about Kim Min-jae's future.
Reporter Florian Flettenberg, familiar with the news of Bayern Munich, said on the 2nd (Korea time) 'Kim Min-jae's aide as follows. It is not currently in negotiations with Al-Nasr, and this news is not true. Kim Min-jae is committed to Bayern and will stay unless something special happens.'
Kim Min-jae contributed to Bayern's league victory by playing as a starting player in the 2024-2025 season. Kim Min-jae, who was established as the main center back under Coach Bang Sang Kompany, contributed as a defensive mainstay while playing with injuries until the end of the season.

However, despite the efforts, rumors of a transfer have been steadily raised this summer. 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."
While several clubs have been named in the rumor of Kim Min-jae's transfer, recently, news has emerged that Kim Min-jae is negotiating with Saudi Arabian club Alnasr. Journalist Santi Auna of France's Foot Mercato said, `Kim Min-jae and Alnasr are making progress,' adding, `Alnasar is busy finding a replacement for Aymeric Laporte. According to our understanding, Kim Min-jae's agent is continuing to discuss with Alnasr. Kim Min-jae is open to new challenges and discussions are underway in a positive direction. However, no agreement has been reached yet.'

Saudi Arabia's interest in Kim Min-jae was not the first, so more attention was paid to the possibility of a transfer. 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.
However, Kim Min-jae's side drew a line on the rumor of a transfer to Saudi Arabia through Flettenberg. Earlier, Kim Min-jae has consistently expressed his will to stay in Bayern. In an in-person interview in April, Kim Min-jae said "I've suffered a lot in seven months. But I have no reason to leave. I hope to stay. Of course, we will have to watch the situation. I want to stay healthy next season", he also said. Until his stay is confirmed, great attention is expected to continue to be paid to Kim Min-jae's future.
