The club that reached out to Kim Min-jae, who lost trust in Bayern Munich, is none other than Premier League champion Liverpool.
British media "Kurt Offside" reported in an exclusive report on the 6th (Korea Standard Time) that Liverpool, the winner of the Premier League, is interested in recruiting Kim Min-jae.
The media reported, "Liverpool is one of the clubs looking for Bayern Munich center back Kim Min-jae for a potential transfer this summer. The final decision on Kim Min-jae's future has not yet been made, but expectations are growing among the officials involved that Kim Min-jae will be allowed to leave."
"München's required transfer fee has gone down from the current 50 million euros (about 77.5 billion won) to 35 million euros (about 54.3 billion won). The player is also more inclined to transfer," he said. "If he leaves Munich, he will prefer to move to the Premier League."
The media also said, "If Kim Min-jae moves to England, Liverpool is considering a contract, but there will be no shortage of clubs who want to sign a contract. Newcastle United is also known to like Kim Min-jae and held the first conversation. Chelsea is also looking for several options to strengthen its defense this summer, and it could be one of the clubs to watch Kim Min-jae," he said.
Besides the Premier League, other European clubs are also interested in Kim Min-jae. Not only PSG, the winner of the UEFA Champions League, but also AC Milan, Italy, which is seeking to rebuild its reputation, have expressed their interest.
However, the media reported that Liverpool was trying to recruit Kim Min-jae since he was in Naples. Liverpool seems to have expressed interest in this potential deal again, adding that Liverpool is actively stepping up.
The media did not doubt, "Kim Min-jae shone in Naples, but he was not well-managed to develop to represent big clubs like Munich. If he showed enough to succeed in the Premier League during his time in Germany, it remains to be seen."
However, he also mentioned that Liverpool needs to reinforce its defense.
The media said, "Arne slots will be able to make more reinforcements to the defense as they can't play full time every week like Virgil van Dijk, who is getting older, has been doing recently. Ibrahim Konate also said the return season is the last of his contract period, and the future of Joe Gomez and Jarrell Kwanzaa is also unclear.
Munich has already started to view Kim Min-jae one notch down from No. 1 to No. 2 to No. 3 to 4. As the team quickly recruited Bayer Leverkusen (Germany) defender Yonathan Tha, Kim Min-jae, who is currently injured, is set to participate in the FIFA Club World Cup.
Kim Min-jae moved to Munich in the summer of 2023 and became the main center back of the Mega Club. He showed further growth by working with world-class defenders such as Matheis Duricht and Dayo Upamecano.
However, Munich continued to show regrets in physical fitness and injury management. During the 2023-2024 season, Kim failed to properly perform his pre-season schedule with former coach Thomas Tuchel while undergoing basic military training. In the meantime, he couldn't rest during the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Asian Cup held in Qatar in January last year. 바카라사이트
Eventually, he lost his concentration at the end of this season and failed to advance to the final due to a fatal positioning miss that gave Vinicius Junior the back space in the first leg of the Champions League semifinals against Real Madrid (Spain).
Last season, which followed, he played a normal preseason, including a tour to Korea, but a loophole was revealed in Munich's injury management.
