It's shocking. The victorious Bayern Munich is abandoning Kim Min-jae (29, Munich).
Bayern Munich has reclaimed the Bundesliga title. However, Kim Min-jae's future is uncertain. Kim Min-jae stated, "There is no reason to leave Munich" and expressed a desire to remain. However, the Munich club leadership is already preparing a plan without Kim Min-jae.
Germany's 'Kicker' reported on the 17th that "Munich is approaching the signing of Bayer Leverkusen defender Jonathan Tah. Having secured the title, Munich is leisurely preparing for its final match. The excitement of winning has subsided. Only the Club World Cup remains."
The media continued, "Munich has identified Jonathan Tah as the leader of the defense for next season and is considering Dayot Upamecano as a partner," indicating that the starting position previously held by Kim Min-jae will be passed to a new player.
There are supporting rumors regarding Kim Min-jae's transfer. Germany's TZ reported that "Juventus and Inter Milan are competing to bring Bayern Munich center-back Kim Min-jae to Italy. Both clubs have already requested information about Kim Min-jae from Munich. Munich has also opened the door for negotiations to possibly transfer Kim Min-jae this summer. Although there has not been any substantial progress, interest in Kim Min-jae is growing."
Serie A is a familiar stage for Kim Min-jae. He already experienced a Serie A title with Napoli in 2023. If Munich treats Kim Min-jae poorly, returning to Italy would not be a bad choice.
