German leading newspaper Bild reported on the 8th (Korea time) that "Bayern Munich coach Bangsang Kompany is open to sending out Kim Min-jae."
The media explained, "Bayern Munich recently recruited Yonatanta from Bayer Leverkusen, and Yonatanta is expected to take over the central defensive line along with Dayo Upamecano."
"So, if there is an appropriate offer, Kim Min-jae could be transferred," he added.
According to the media, Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), the UEFA Champions League champion in the 2024-25 season, showed interest in recruiting Kim Min-jae.
"PSG board members expressed their interest in Kim Min-jae, who is currently playing for Bayern Munich," France's Foot Mercato said on Sunday. "PSG general manager Luis Campos met Kim Min-jae's agent in Paris this week. It was a meeting confirming PSG's interest."
In response, Bild countered, "According to our information, this meeting has not yet been made."
"However, Campos, a close aide to PSG Chairman Nasser Al-Kelaifi and close to head coach Luis Enrique, paid attention since Kim Min-jae played for Fenerbahce," he said. "Campos was an adviser to Galatasaray in 2022."
While Kim Min-jae is receiving attention from European big clubs, Munich coach Bang Sang Kompany also reportedly allowed Kim Min-jae to transfer.
"According to what we have confirmed, Coach Bang Sang Kompany is open to sending out Kim Min-jae," the media said. "Kim Min-jae was a key player who played 43 games last season despite Achilles tendon pain."
In addition, "Coach Kompany prefers French defender Maxim Esteve, who played when he led Burnley in the past as a substitute for Kim Min-jae," he said. "Coach Kompany highly values Esteve because of his strong one-on-one defense from his 193cm height and his calm, easy-to-mistake build-up ability."
"München wants to recover 50 million euros (about 77.5 billion won) in transfer fees paid when Kim Min-jae was brought from Naples," he said. "Kim Min-jae is contracted with Munich until 2028, but his time in Munich could end in two years. Of course, the player himself wants to stay."
Bayern Munich ended the year with a crown by becoming the Bundesliga champion in 2024-25.
Kim Min-jae was influential in Munich, which missed the Bundesliga championship last season, to rise back to the top of the league. Kim Min-jae contributed to Munich's Bundesliga victory by continuing to play for the team even though his physical condition was not 100 percent this season.
Kim Min-jae has suffered from an Achilles tendon injury since October last year. He needed sufficient treatment and rest, but Munich had to continue using Kim Min-jae as the team's center backs fell out with injuries.
"I clenched my teeth, close my eyes and keep trying. Mistakes, injuries or too many games can be excuses," Kim said in a recent interview. "I have to focus. That's my job. I have to handle it. Of course, the mistakes were made due to pain, but I should have done better in the end."
Despite the painful situation, Kim played 3,593 minutes in 43 matches in all competitions this season. Among Munich players this season, only Yozua Kim Mi-hi (4287 minutes) played more than Kim.
However, Munich and Kompany are trying to sell Kim Min-jae, who showed an injury-fighting spirit in the transfer market this summer.
Kim Min-jae has already said that he wants to stay in Munich. According to Sky Sports Germany, when rumors of a transfer surfaced, Kim said, "I have no reason to leave," adding, "I hope I can stay, but we will see. I want to maintain my physical condition next season."
Even if Kim Min-jae dreams of staying, if Munich decided to sell it, Kim Min-jae's mind may change. Just in time, big European clubs that want Kim Min-jae have appeared, drawing attention to the future of Kim Min-jae.
Clubs that are currently interested in recruiting Kim Min-jae included not only PSG but also AC Milan (Italy) and Liverpool (England).
Germany's largest soccer magazine Kicker reported, "AC Milan is eyeing Bayern Munich's central defender Kim Min-jae."
"Kim Min-jae is being mentioned as a candidate for recruitment that AC Milan's new head coach Masimiliano Allegri wants," the media quoted the Italian daily Gazeta Delo Sport as saying.
In addition, he said, "Kim Min-jae can leave Bayern Munich, and according to our information, Rafael Leão may be used as a bargaining chip in the process of moving to Munich."
Liverpool, the champion of the 2024-25 Premier League, is also considered one of Kim Min-jae's potential destinations.
Britain's "Team Talk" claimed on the 6th that "Liverpool added Kim Min-jae to the defensive target list and figured out the cost of recruiting Kim Min-jae."
"Liverpool is looking for an alternative center back to strengthen the team's defense," he said. "Bayern Munich's Kim is the main target of interest for Liverpool. They are looking for a potential transfer of Kim Min-jae, whose situation in Munich is uncertain."
