Italian clubs' interest in Kim Min-jae is expected to end. German media revealed Kim Min-jae's salary and pointed out that it was not enough for Italian clubs to handle it.

Germany's FCB Inside reported on the 26th (Korea time) "The possibility of Kim Min-jae's transfer has already been discussed since last summer" "However, it does not seem easy to realize the actual transfer due to his high salary."

Currently, Kim Min-jae has lost his main position at Bayern Munich. Jonatan Tawa under the director Bang Sang Kompany Upamecano has the upper hand. Kim Min-jae plays when they need a break.

Last season, Kim Min-jae consistently started under Kompany, but the situation changed this summer when Munich signed defender Yonatanta on a free agent. In addition, Kompany regards Upamecano as a clear starting player, reducing Kim Min-jae's position. In addition, it was also a problem that the performance was poor in the aftermath of the Achilles tendon injury late last season.

As a result, the possibility of Kim Min-jae's sale in the summer transfer market is being raised again. The problem is his salary.

According to European soccer transfer market expert Fabrizio Romano, Kim Min-jae is known to receive 8 million to 9 million euros (about 13 billion to 15 billion won) after tax annually, including bonuses in Bayern Munich.

Several Italian clubs, including Inter Milan, are interested in Kim Min-jae, but it is considered very difficult to bring him back to Serie A due to such high salary conditions.

Bayern Munich paid a transfer fee of 50 million euros (about 83 billion won) from Napoli in 2023 and recruited Kim Min-jae. Currently, his market value is estimated at around 32 million euros (about 53 billion won). The contract is valid until 2028 and is now classified as the third central defender after Upamecano and Ta. The fourth central defender is Hiroki Ito of Japan.

In addition, Bayern Munich are said to be considering signing Crystal Palace defender Mark Guehi. This is bad news for Kim Min-jae.




The media argued that `If Munich recruits another central defender next summer, Kim Min-jae is likely to lose his future at Bayern Munich.'
