Min-jae Kim is considered one of the sales candidates at FC Bayern for the coming summer. However, there are probably problems getting rid of the South Korean due to the high salary. Or not? Maybe the solution for Kim doesn’t lie in Serie A, which is probably where the most interest has come from so far.
Will FC Bayern not get rid of Min-jae Kim, even though the central defender has been considered a candidate for sale for a long time?
This scenario was recently discovered by Fabrizio Romano, who reported that Kim was earning far too much money with the German soccer record champions to become a serious topic for the interested Serie A club.
According to the transfer expert, Kim is expected to collect eight to nine million euros per year, a sum that both the interested Milan clubs – Inter and AC – and Juventus Turin, which is also said to have put out feelers, cannot afford.
So will FC Bayern continue to sit with Kim for the time being, who still has a contract until mid-2028? Quite possible. But there is light on the horizon.
Kim will probably not leave FC Bayern in the winter
Because according to “flashscore”, with a bit of luck there is an opportunity to sell the 28-year-old to England. According to the portal, FC Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur in particular have kept an eye on Kim’s situation in Munich. Liverpool FC should also monitor developments.
One thing is clear: the Premier League giants could easily pay Kim’s salary, unlike the Italian clubs, who remember Kim well from his time at SSC Napoli. Before his 50 million euro move to Munich, he was named the best defender in Serie A, among other things.
However, the South Korean is currently only the third man behind the two regulars Jonathan Tah and Dayot Upamecano. As soon as the currently injured Hiroki Ito returns, things shouldn’t get any easier for Kim.
According to “Bild”, the South Korean international still feels comfortable at FC Bayern. Those in charge at Säbener Straße should also be happy with Kim, as the 28-year-old is fully committed to the service of the team. A winter change is not yet an issue, the tabloid recently said.
