Bayern Munich sells the champion Kim Min-jae (29, Munich).
Bayern Munich secured a 2-0 victory over Borussia Mönchengladbach in the 33rd round of the 2024-2025 Bundesliga held at Allianz Arena in Munich, Germany, on Nov. 11, wrapping up the season's final home game with a win.
Having already confirmed their championship, Munich celebrated at home. All the players held a trophy-lifting party.
Kim Min-jae, who has been ruled out for the season due to an Achilles tendon injury, was excluded from the game. Kim Min-jae enthusiastically lifted the trophy alongside his teammates. Munich regarded Kim Min-jae as a key player who contributed to the championship.
Bayern Munich confirmed early championship on 5th as Bayer Leverkusen drew with Freiburg. After being outmatched by Bayer Leverkusen's unbeaten championship last season, Bayern Munich regained the Meisterschale and restored their pride in just one year.
Kim Min-jae, who dominated the Italian Serie A in Napoli in 2023, has now reached the top of the German Bundesliga as well. He is the first Korean player to win in two of Europe's top five leagues. Moreover, Kim Min-jae is the first in Asia as well. Furthermore, Kim Min-jae is a key player wherever he goes.
At the moment he received the trophy and posed for a commemorative photo, Kim Min-jae smiled brightly in front of numerous foreign press cameras. The team's symbol, Manuel Neuer, received the trophy first but immediately passed it to Thomas Müller, who is nearing retirement, and at that moment, Kim Min-jae cheered and applauded with his teammates.
However, the likelihood of not seeing Kim Min-jae at Munich next season is high. According to German TZ, 'Juventus and Inter Milan are competing to bring Bayern Munich's center-back Kim Min-jae to Italy. The two clubs have already asked Munich for information on Kim Min-jae. Munich has also opened the door for negotiations to potentially transfer Kim Min-jae this summer. While there has been no significant progress, interest in Kim Min-jae is growing.'
Inter Milan has consistently shown interest in acquiring Kim Min-jae on loan since last season. Inter Milan continues to desire Kim Min-jae even after previous acquisition attempts fell through.
Juventus has once again shown interest in Kim Min-jae since the appointment of Director General Giuntoli, who discovered him during his time in Napoli. He is someone who knows Kim Min-jae better than anyone.
