South Korean defender Kim Min Jae is on the verge of leaving Bayern Munich and could depart the Allianz Arena.
South Korean centre-back Kim Min Jae, signed by Bayern Munich in the summer of 2023 for a figure close to €50 million, could leave the Allianz Arena after just one season with the Bavarian giants. Expectations were high surrounding his arrival, but the player has not managed to establish himself as expected, according to Ekrem Konur.
Kim Min Jae’s arrival at Bayern was seen as a solid bet to reinforce the team’s defence. Coming from Italian football, where he had shone with Napoli, his signing generated great enthusiasm among the fans and the coaching staff of the German club. However, his performance has not been as expected and, despite showing flashes of his talent, he has not managed to settle into the starting line-up on a regular basis.
Kim Min Jae could leave Bayern Munich
Bayern Munich, always demanding of their players’ performance, are considering selling the South Korean centre-back. Kim Min Jae’s asking price would remain around €50 million, the same amount that the club paid for him a year ago. This decision could open the door to other European clubs that are interested in taking advantage of the situation and acquiring the services of a defender with potential and international experience.
At 27, Kim Min Jae still has a promising career ahead of him and a possible transfer could offer him a new opportunity to prove his worth in another environment. The next transfer window will be crucial in defining the player’s future, as he seeks to regain his confidence and the level he showed before his arrival in the Bundesliga.
In the meantime, Bayern Munich will assess their defensive options for next season, considering possible replacements who can bring solidity and consistency to the team’s backline. The coming months will be decisive for both parties, and any move could have a significant impact on both Kim Min Jae’s career and the German club’s sporting planning.
