Bayern Munich lowers Kim Min-jae's price as Liverpool expresses strong interest

Center-back Kim Min-jae (29, Bayern Munich) is generating strong interest for a transfer to Liverpool.

The British media outlet 'CaughtOffside' reported on the 6th (Korean time) that 'Bayern is pushing for Kim Min-jae's transfer. Liverpool is looking to acquire him.'

Bayern has lowered Kim Min-jae's price tag to facilitate the transfer. The outlet explained, 'Bayern has reduced Kim Min-jae's price from 50 million euros (approximately 77.5 billion won) to 35 million euros (approximately 54.2 billion won). Kim Min-jae is also reportedly interested in a transfer.'

Recently, Kim Min-jae has been consistently embroiled in transfer rumors in Germany. 'Bavarian Football Works' stated, 'Kim Min-jae has struggled to adapt since joining Munich. Recently, he has lost playing time due to an Achilles injury,' explaining the background.

If Kim Min-jae dons the Liverpool jersey, he is expected to partner with Virgil van Dijk in a center-back duo.

Liverpool recently announced a re-signing of captain Virgil van Dijk.

In addition to Liverpool, several top clubs are showing interest in acquiring Kim Min-jae. 'CaughtOffside' reported, 'Newcastle United has already engaged in initial negotiations. Chelsea is also considering signing Kim Min-jae to strengthen their defense. Paris Saint-Germain and AC Milan are keeping an eye on Kim Min-jae's situation.'

European football expert Fabrizio Romano has also predicted Kim Min-jae's transfer. On the 22nd, he analyzed via his social media account that 'Kim Min-jae is likely to move to either Saudi Arabia or the English Premier League (EPL). A club that can afford his high weekly salary is needed.'

Kim Min-jae previously stated, 'I have no reason to leave,' but the situation has changed. He is reportedly considering a transfer. To make matters worse, strong competitor Jonathan Tah has joined Bayern, which is said to make his position more difficult even if he stays.
