As the European soccer transfer market opens in earnest in the summer of 2025, Bayern Munich defender Kim Min-jae's future is emerging as a pressing concern.
Media outlets across Europe, including Germany, Britain, and Italy, are reporting Kim Min-jae's transfer every day, and it is also confirmed that Munich has actually made specific moves to sell Kim Min-jae.
"Bayern Munich has explored the possibility of recruiting Kim Min-jae to several Premier League clubs," British media "Football 365" reported on the 10th (Korea Standard Time), adding, "It seems that he actually sent a reverse proposal."
In addition, Florian Flettenberg, a reporter for the German version of "Sky Sports," a leading German media outlet, also said on his social network service (SNS) on the same day, "Kim Min-jae is a clear candidate for sale of Bayern Munich," adding, "The club will allow the transfer without hesitation if an appropriate offer comes."
Kim Min-jae has been receiving constant attention from English Premier League clubs.
According to Football 365, Munich recently confirmed the interest by offering Kim Min-jae to several Premier League clubs, including Manchester United, Liverpool, Chelsea, and Tottenham.
According to the report, Kim Min-jae is likely to be pushed out of the competition with defender Yonatan Ta, whom Munich recently hired from Leverkusen, and Munich is already actively contacting the market for Kim Min-jae's summer transfer.
Graham Bailey, a soccer reporter for England's "The Bootroom," said in the report, "Kim Min-jae is 'proposed' to a number of Premier League clubs, including Manchester United, Liverpool, Chelsea, Manchester City, Tottenham, and Newcastle, and they know about Kim Min-jae's possible transfer."
This is proof that Munich has been actively involved in the sale of Kim Min-jae, and it is interpreted as asking other clubs directly about their intention to purchase Kim Min-jae for a quick sale.
The media added, "Bayern Munich is willing to negotiate Kim Min-jae's transfer even at the risk of losses," adding, "The club is likely to take a flexible attitude when it comes to transfer fees."
Kim Min-jae moved from Napoli to Bayern Munich in the summer of 2023 and recorded a transfer fee of about 51 million pounds (about 94.1 billion won), the highest ever for Asian players.
Munich claims to want a quick sale of Kim Min-jae even though it could not recover the transfer fee.
According to the media, Chelsea is considered a potential new destination for Kim Min-jae among the mentioned Premier League clubs.
With the aim of reorganizing the defense, new coach Enzo Maresca has set existing young defense resources as targets for sale, signaling the reinforcement of the defense. In this regard, the media said, "Chelsea has no choice but to be interested in recruiting a high-quality center back like Kim Min-jae."
Tottenham, where Son Heung-min, the same Korean national team, plays as captain, was also selected as a potential candidate.
With Christian Romero, the current defensive core, connected to Atletico Madrid, Kim Min-jae could be an option to replace the position.
Kim Min-jae has been working with Son Heung-min for a long time in the South Korean national team, and last year, Son Heung-min praised him, saying, "Kim Min-jae is a defender I really like and a player who can learn more from a global point of view."
However, Son Heung-min is known to have recently received a transfer offer from a Saudi Arabian professional league club, and the possibility of a reunion with Kim Min-jae remains a variable.
In addition to the Premier League, Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), AC Milan, and Saudi Arabian clubs are also reportedly watching Kim Min-jae's situation closely.
In particular, given that Kim Min-jae has been hoping to advance to the Premier League, some say that this summer could serve as the right time to advance to the English stage.
"Kim Min-jae has long had a will to play in the Premier League, and that opportunity could become a reality this summer," Bailey said. "It seems that contact with several clubs is currently taking place."
Kim Min-jae moved from Napoli to Munich in the summer of 2023 and immediately became a starting center back. From the first season, he showed his presence based on his strong interpersonal defense, quick cover, and build-up capabilities.
This season, in his second year as a member of Munich, he was consistently appointed under coach Bangsang Kompany, and by winning the Bundesliga, he became the first Korean player to experience two league wins in Europe's four major leagues.
However, the aftermath of the Achilles tendon injury that continued from October last year has hampered his performance. Kim played without fully recovering, which led to poor performance in the second half and frequent mistakes.
Following subsequent criticism, Munich eventually put Kim Min-jae on the release list along with Leon Goretzka and Kingsley Comang. 메이저놀이터
It is clear that the treatment is not appropriate for a player who has shown dedication even after leading a sick body for his team's performance throughout the season, but there is also a reaction that it cannot be helped in the cold professional sports world.
