Turkish top clubs are showing unusual interest in Kim Min-jae (30, Bayern Munich). Galatasaray has also entered the race to sign him.
The Turkish 'Habertürk' media outlet reported on the 1st that "Galatasaray aims to outmaneuver its rivals in the upcoming transfer market. It has added Kim Min-jae, the target of Fenerbahçe, and Salih Özcan (Dortmund), whom Beşiktaş is pursuing, to its list of targets."
It further added, "Galatasaray, which is heavily favored to win the league this season, has already begun restructuring its squad for next season. In particular, it intends to intercept Kim Min-jae, who is being eyed by Fenerbahçe, to gain a decisive advantage in the rivalry."
According to the media, Galatasaray's club executives are expected to launch official negotiations with Kim Min-jae's side in the near future. Details of the potential transfer are expected to be revealed within a few days.
Recently, top clubs from Turkey and Italy's Serie A have been courting Kim Min-jae, whose position in Munich has become increasingly limited. Currently, Kim Min-jae is classified as Bayern Munich's third-choice center-back, behind Dayot Upamecano and Jonathan Tah. There is ample justification for him to seek a new team to secure playing time and assume a key role.
Bavarian Football Works, which specializes in Munich news, reported on the possibility of Kim Min-jae's transfer, citing Alper Yemenezler, a commentator for the Turkish media outlet 'HT Spor'. Yemenezler, referring to a conversation he had with Kim Min-jae's agent, stated, "There is no immediate need to leave in a rush, but he is exploring several options."
In particular, the agent acknowledged the active interest from Turkish clubs. He explained, "Fenerbahçe, Kim Min-jae's former club, along with Beşiktaş and Galatasaray, have all reached out. If he chooses a new destination, Fenerbahçe, his former club, would be the top priority."
Juventus has also joined the race to sign him. Italy's 'Gazzetta dello Sport' reported that "Juventus is already in transfer negotiations with Kim Min-jae's side ahead of the upcoming summer transfer market."
The media explained that "Kim Min-jae is seeking a fresh start, and Munich is also prepared to respect the player's wishes, prompting Juventus to quickly enter the transfer race."
