Bayern Munich has left the door wide open for Kim Min-jae's transfer. Chelsea is also determined to recruit.
CF Bayern Insider, which delivers the news of Munich, reported on the 23rd (Korea time) that "Chelsea is targeting Munich star Kim Min-jae."
The media said, "Kim Min-jae was also strongly embroiled in rumors that he was leaving Munich last summer. In particular, after Yonadanta was recruited, the team's position became unclear. There were reports that Chelsea and Tottenham were interested in the 29-year-old defender at the time, but it did not lead to a specific proposal.
Chelsea seems to be still interested in recruiting Kim Min-jae. Munich may also be willing to negotiate if an appropriate transfer fee is offered, suggesting the possibility of Kim Min-jae's transfer.
According to the media, Christian Polk, a reporter for "Built," said, "Kim Min-jae is satisfied with the current situation thanks to the proper rotation policy of head coach Bang Sang Kompany," but added, "Kim Min-jae's agent was informed that Chelsea was interested." This is true," he said.
The media expected the direction of the transfer to be different depending on Kim Min-jae's choice. Chelsea currently has several defenders on the recruitment list, and Kim Min-jae is also on the list. Munich said, "If Kim Min-jae is satisfied even though he is currently unable to start every game, he is in a position that (the rest) is okay for the club."
On the contrary, if Kim Min-jae asks for a transfer for more playing time, Munich is open to negotiations. Munich needs funds to recruit a new defender, because they don't have that much money at the moment," he explained.
This season, Kim Min-jae is not a full-time main player but a rotation. He played in 20 official games this season, but only 10 of them were selected. In the case of the UEFA Champions League (UCL), only two out of six games were selected, but the total time of play was 244 minutes, which is a big difference compared to other (512 minutes) and Upamecano (506 minutes).
It is explained that Munich will not bother to block Kim Min-jae's transfer if the transfer fee is appropriate. "If Munich needs Kim Min-jae's transfer fee, Chelsea is a good opponent to negotiate," the media said. "What should not be forgotten is that Munich initially paid 50 million euros (about 74 billion won) when bringing Kim Min-jae from Naples. Munich will want to recover even a fraction of that amount."
