The Director General of Bayern Munich directly expressed the intention to sell Kim Min-jae (29, Munich).
The German 'Bild' asked Max Eberl, the Director General of Bayern Munich, about the transfer status of Kim Min-jae and Joao Palhinha. He did not hide the fact that he is pursuing transfers.
Eberl stated, 'Both Kim Min-jae and Palhinha will remain until the end of the Club World Cup. They will stay on the team until the World Cup. After that, we will see how the transfer market develops.'
'Bild' reported that Palhinha has a strong desire to stay in Munich. In contrast, it is said that Kim Min-jae has made up his mind to leave Munich. It would not be surprising if both left Munich.
Although many clubs are showing interest in Kim Min-jae, there has been no official transfer offer.
Christian Falk of 'The Daily Briefing' noted, 'Kim Min-jae is linked to Liverpool and Manchester United and is waiting for concrete proposals. Currently, there are no specific offers for Kim Min-jae. Bayern Munich is already considering Thomas Araujo as a successor to Kim Min-jae. If an appropriate offer comes in, it is highly likely that a deal will be reached.'
Munich acquired Kim Min-jae from Napoli in 2023 for €50 million (approximately 80.3 billion won). Munich plans to lower the price to €35 million (approximately 56.2 billion won) to part ways with Kim Min-jae.
Despite the reduction in Kim Min-jae's price, there are no official offers. If Kim Min-jae stays with Munich, he will have to accept a substitute role. The success of Kim Min-jae's transfer is expected to be discussed more thoroughly after the Club World Cup.
