The transfer rumors of 'Iron Wall' Kim Min-jae (29, Munich) to Barcelona are attracting attention in Japan.
German outlet TZ reported on the 12th that "the possibility of Bayern Munich's Korean player Kim Min-jae transferring to Barcelona has surged. Kim Min-jae is highly likely to leave Munich this summer. Currently, PSG, Saudi Arabia, and AC Milan are competing for Kim Min-jae."
Bayern Munich has acquired Jonathan Tah (29, Munich), a key player in Bayer Leverkusen's unbeaten championship during the off-season. Tah secured the starting center-back position immediately upon joining. Making his debut at the club World Cup, Tah played the full 90 minutes in all five matches.
The atmosphere is already shifting towards Tah taking Kim Min-jae's place. Kim Min-jae, who returned from an Achilles injury, has returned to team training but did not play a second during the club World Cup. Ultimately, a transfer for Kim Min-jae seems highly likely.
Japan is also paying attention to the situation of Kim Min-jae. 'Higashi Web' noted, "World-famous club Barcelona is showing interest in the Korean representative Kim Min-jae. This is good news for Kim Min-jae. He has already won championships in Serie A and the Bundesliga. If a transfer to Barcelona is realized, he can also challenge for the La Liga title. An unprecedented career will be completed," they expressed with excitement.
