Strongest Korean Monster, do you want a main position? Lower your salary...AC Milan  Juventus Kim Min-jae Competition
There is a possibility that Kim Min-jae, a strong candidate for the next captain of the Korean national team, will return to Italy. However, Kim Min-jae's high salary is approaching the burden of recruitment.

Italy's Gazeta on the 15th (Korea Standard Time) "There is a possibility that former Napoli defender Kim Min-jae of South Korea will return to Italy and regain his lead position without being properly established in the Bundesliga."," he reported.

Kim Min-jae had an unforgettable season, winning the Italian Serie A league in Naples in the 2022-2023 season. Later, he moved to Bayern Munich and recorded the most expensive transfer fee in the history of Asian players. However, he has not been able to show his presence on the German stage.




Kim Min-jae was already in the transfer market last summer, and unless there is a special reversal, the same situation is expected to repeat in January this year. Juventus and AC Milan are interested in this. Juventus is looking for a replacement for Gleymer Bremer, who is out of power due to injury, and AC Milan is considering recruiting Kim Min-jae to reinforce the defense.

Kim Min-jae rejected offers from the Saudi Arabian League in the transfer window last summer. He still wants to compete on the best stage in Europe. The media argued that returning to Serie A could be the perfect stage for Kim Min-jae to take off again.

Kim Min-jae has played only two games in the league this season. He is losing ground to Jonatan Tawa Upamecano and rarely gets a chance to play as a main player.

In this situation, it is said that Munich is open to the sale of Kim Min-jae.

The media reported that "Bayern Munich is willing to let Kim Min-jae go, but the biggest stumbling block is the annual salary" Kim Min-jae's annual salary is 9 million euros (about 14 billion won), which is too much for Italian clubs to pay defenders."

"Kim Min-jae, who boasts a strong physical enough to be nicknamed "Monster"," he added. "If you want to regain your steady playing time, you will have to cut your salary."
