Kim Min-jae (30, Bayern Munich) held Chelsea's hand.
Germany's TZ reported on the 25th (local time) that "Chelsea is strengthening its movement to recruit Kim Min-jae and has already contacted the player."
The media said, "Kim Min-jae's current position in Munich is unstable. Kim Minjae is Yonatan Tawa under the director Bangsaeng Kompany He gave Upamecano the main player and only played the role of a so-called "Edel-Joker," adding, "He has been constantly raising the possibility of his release, and Chelsea has recently shown specific interest."
According to media, Liam Rosenier, who took the helm of Chelsea earlier this year, wants Kim Min-jae to reinforce his defense. Initially, Chelsea aimed for Staderen prospect Jeremy Jaque, but when Manchester City entered the recruitment competition, they confirmed their target as Kim Min-jae.
The key is the player's will. Kim Min-jae himself holds the key to this transfer. The media said, "München does not want its power to weaken in the winter transfer market. But I will respect the player's will," he said. Christian Polk of "Built" also analyzed, "If Kim Min-jae asks the club leaders to transfer, Munich will not block him."
However, it has been confirmed that Kim Min-jae has not yet officially requested the club to transfer. The media added, "If Kim Min-jae chooses to stay, there is no problem for Munich."
CF Bayern Insider, which delivers the news of Munich, also expected Kim Min-jae's choice to decide whether to transfer or not. 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 not able to start every game, the club is also in a position to stay."
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.
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."
Kim Min-jae is hardly seen as a full-time starting player this season. He played in 21 official games this season, but 11 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).
With the winter transfer market closing about a week away, fans are paying attention to what choice Kim Min-jae will make.
