Bayern Munich is serious about selling Kim Min-jae (29, Munich).
British outlet 'CaughtOffside' reported on the 23rd that 'Munich has lowered Kim Min-jae's transfer fee from 50 million euros to 35 million euros. Munich is willing to endure a loss of 15 million euros (about 23.9 billion won).
This outlet added that 'Kim Min-jae prefers a move to the Premier League. Liverpool has shown interest. Newcastle has already attempted contact. PSG and AC Milan are also closely watching the situation.'
Kim Min-jae's position within the team is shaky. Jonathan Tah, who was acquired from Bayer Leverkusen, started in place of Kim Min-jae in his debut match for Munich and played the full game. Tah, a member of Leverkusen's unbeaten title-winning squad, was brought in as a replacement for Kim Min-jae. There are pessimistic views that Kim Min-jae may become a secondary option if he stays with Munich next season.
Currently, Kim Min-jae is staying in the United States for Bayern Munich's Club World Cup participation. He returned from an Achilles injury and participated in his first training session on the 22nd.
Munich crushed Auckland 10-0 in their first match of the Club World Cup on the 16th. On the 21st, they also defeated Boca Juniors 2-1, securing their advancement to the knockout stage with two victories. Munich is set to face Benfica on the 25th.
Attention is focused on whether Kim Min-jae will return for the Benfica match on the 25th. Jonathan Tah made a mistake in the Boca Juniors match on the 21st and has faced criticism from German media. The possibility of Kim Min-jae successfully remaining has increased dramatically.
