Premier League champion Liverpool holds Kim Min-jae (29, Bayern Munich) in high regard.
On the 24th, British outlet OneFootball reported, "Kim Min-jae's market value has dropped to €35 million (approximately 55.2 billion won). This is a change that could alter the landscape. With uncertainties in their defense line, Liverpool sees Kim Min-jae as a strong candidate for reinforcement. Kim Min-jae's statement expressing a preference for a move to the Premier League also heightens the possibility of a transfer."
Liverpool wants Kim Min-jae first. The outlet noted, "Liverpool is not reacting impulsively. They have respected Kim Min-jae since his time at Napoli, where they won the title. His predictive ability, passing skills, and presence have made him one of the best defenders in Europe."
Bayern Munich has planned to use the funds from swiftly organizing Kim Min-jae to acquire additional defenders in the summer transfer market, as Jonathan Tah, who was signed from Bayer Leverkusen, has successfully settled in by playing full time in his debut.
British outlet Cut Offside reported on the 23rd, "Bayern Munich has lowered Kim Min-jae's transfer fee from €50 million to €35 million. Bayern Munich is willing to incur a loss of €15 million (approximately 23.9 billion won)."
As Kim Min-jae's market value decreases, his popularity is relatively rising. This is why Liverpool, which wants to strengthen its defense, is actively considering acquiring Kim Min-jae at a reasonable price.
In addition to Liverpool, other Premier League teams such as Manchester United and Newcastle are also targeting Kim Min-jae. This increases the likelihood of Kim Min-jae moving to England.
