Min-jae Kim is currently considered the hottest iron in FC Bayern’s transfer fire. According to a recent media report from Italy, the central defender of SSC Napoli could actually make a decision “in the next few hours”.
This was reported by the journalist Marco Giordano from “calciomercato.it” on Tuesday afternoon. Accordingly, the only thing that stands in the way of the Korean transfer is the final agreement between Bayern star Lucas Hernández and Paris Saint-Germain, who are willing to change.
Should the previous record transfer from Munich actually say goodbye to PSG and bring FC Bayern revenue of probably at least 40 million euros, the German record champions want to make the Kim deal as soon as possible in order to fill the gap in the squad again.
It is said that technical director Marco Neppe was in direct contact with Min-jae Kim’s advisors around player agent Lourenco Rita on Tuesday. In principle, there should long have been an agreement on a transfer of the defender to FC Bayern.
How much did Bayern Munich pay for Min-jae Kim?
However, the financial framework and other details have not yet been finally negotiated and worked out, it is said.
Kim has been a top candidate for the summer transfer of a defender at Bayern for weeks. However, there are said to have been disturbances from other interested parties on the 26-year-old on the home stretch of the deal.
FC Bayern and SSC Napoli may make the final breakthrough on Tuesday when it comes to talks about the transfer fee and other financial details.
According to media reports, Kim, who recently became Italian champion with Napoli, will have to pay at least 50 million euros as a base fee.
