If the transfer is completed, he may be criticized as a "traitor". However, I think I will have to take this much in order to revive my career position.
There is a possibility that Kim Min-jae (29), whose position at Bayern Munich is in jeopardy, will move to Serie A in Italy. For Kim Min-jae, there is a high possibility that a better future will be guaranteed than the present. However, the obstacle is that the transfer destination is Juventus, Napoli's rival, where Kim Min-jae was involved in the past. If Kim Min-jae, who led Napoli to a league championship, moves to Juventus, he can earn the resentment of Napoli fans.
Global soccer media Golcom plans to recruit a central defender with extensive Serie A experience in the January transfer market. Milan Shkriniar (Fenerbahce) and Kim Min-jae are the main targets, reports said.
Juventus is in desperate need of a defensive reinforcement. Gleisson Bremer underwent surgery for an injury to the medial meniscal cartilage in his left knee. As a result, Bremer's long-term gap must be filled. Backup defender Juan Caval is also suffering from a hamstring injury.
Juventus currently ranks fifth (3 wins, 3 draws, 12 points) in the sixth round of the league. It is three points away from Napoli (15 points), the leader of the team, which has continued its unbeaten streak. You can challenge yourself to the championship. However, it is a story when the defense is in good shape. It is worth accepting that the situation in which Bremer and Caval have left due to injury is a crisis.
As a result, Juventus immediately narrowed its recruitment target to a central defender with Serier A experience that could help its power. Of course, Kim Min-jae is the number one. This is because Kim Min-jae has already shown the best form in Serie A and has a history of supporting Napoli's victory.

Moreover, Kim Min-jae is now a backup in Munich. Coach Bang Sang Kompany is the central defender combination this season Keeps Upamecano and Jonathan Tarot. Kim Min-jae got a chance to play in the beginning, but as time goes by, he seems to be pushed back to the backup. His physical condition has improved compared to last season, but mistakes are still exposed when he plays.
Therefore, for Kim Min-jae, it may be advantageous to leave in search of an opportunity to play as a main player when rumors of a transfer come out. Matteo Moreno, who is well-versed in the Italian transfer market, said 'Kim Min-jae received attention from multiple Serie A clubs, including AC Milan, last summer. At that time, the transfer was canceled due to high weekly wages. However, Kim Min-jae, who lost his position in Munich, can push for a transfer for a new prime, he predicted.
In the end, in order for the transfer negotiations to take place, it is necessary to adjust the high salary that caused the collapse last summer. Italian leading media La Gazeta Delo Sport analyzed that `Juventus and AC Milan want Kim Min-jae, but an annual salary of 9 million euros (about 14.9 billion won) is a stumbling block.'
Kim Min-jae was criticized for providing the cause of his 0-5 defeat by making several mistakes while playing center back in the A-match friendly match against Brazil on the 10th. A technical mistake has been made. It is analyzed in the aftermath of the team's little time to play. Ahead of the 20206 North Korea-China World Cup, it is necessary to restore his form by increasing the playing time. Attention is focusing on whether Kim Min-jae will be able to regain the reputation of 'Iron Pillar' on the Serie A stage again.
