While Kim Min-jae's summer transfer is becoming visible, the possibility of Manchester United of the English Premier League (hereinafter referred to as Manchester United) pushing for Kim Min-jae's recruitment again has been raised.
However, as Manchester United is pushing for fiscal consolidation, it is expected that Kim Min-jae will also need to realize his salary.
Manchester United, which also tried to recruit last summer, is reportedly closely monitoring Kim Min-jae's situation once again to strengthen its defense line ahead of this summer's transfer market.
Christian Polk, a reporter familiar with Munich news, explained Kim Min-jae's current situation in detail through the Munich media "CF Bayern Insider" on the 26th (Korea Standard Time).
Reporter Polk said in the column, "Kim Min-jae may look strong from the outside, but he has a very sensitive personality," adding, "He was deeply discouraged because he felt that Munich made a decisive mistake in eliminating Inter Milan in the UEFA Champions League match."
"Kim Min-jae was the main target of criticism even when he was eliminated from the semifinals against Real Madrid last season," he said, pointing out that similar situations are repeated.
Reporter said, "Kim Min-jae is known to have been psychologically shocked by blocking the personal social network service (SNS) comment function because he could not endure malicious comments from fans," amid this situation, reporter Falck raised the possibility that Manchester United would try to recruit Kim Min-jae again in the transfer market this summer.
"Last summer, Manchester United tried to recruit Kim Min-jae, but failed," he said, adding, "At the time, Kim Min-jae did not consider leaving Munich at all, but the current situation is different."
Manchester United had been aiming to join Kim Min-jae since the summer of 2023. However, Kim lost the competition as he chose Munich, which can win the trophy more stably. Kim reportedly tried again to recruit Kim Min-jae, who lost his starting position last summer, but the transfer did not take place.
If Manchester United seeks to recruit Kim Min-jae again this time, it will already be its third love call.
However, it is uncertain whether Manchester United will actually seek to recruit players. "However, Manchester United is not very satisfied with the recent recruitment of players from Munich," Polk said while delivering the news.
"As the performance of players recruited from Munich, such as Matheis de Ligt and Nusair Mazraoui, falls short of expectations, there is an atmosphere of skepticism about bringing in players from Munich again," he explained.
Nevertheless, Manchester United is in desperate need of defensive reinforcement.
Johnny Evans and Viktor Lindelöf will leave the team, while Lisandro Martinez is also forced to miss the long term due to an anterior cruciate ligament injury. As a result, recruiting a new central defender has become a must-have task.
However, reporter Polk said, "Kim Min-jae needs a defensive partner with a leadership orientation," and expressed concern, saying, "It will not be easy for a sensitive and mentally tired defender to perform properly in a team that is currently faltering like Manchester United."
Meanwhile, the estimated transfer fee for Kim Min-jae, which Polk predicted, is around 40 million euros. It is 20 percent lower than the transfer fee of 50 million euros that Kim incurred when he moved to Munich. 10 million euros should be regarded as a kind of depreciation fee.
The Munich club is also known to have left Kim Min-jae's transfer open.
Florian Flettenberg, a prominent reporter for Germany's "Sky Sports," said on his SNS on the 26th, "Bayern Munich is ready to allow a transfer when an attractive offer for Kim Min-jae comes."
In particular, Flettenberg said Juventus, a prestigious Italian Serie A team, is actively interested. It is explained that Juventus' general manager Cristiano Ziuntoli actively wants Kim Min-jae.
General manager Ji Woon-Toli is a person who directly recruited Kim Min-jae during his time in Naples, and it is known that he has been paying attention to Kim Min-jae for a long time.
Newcastle United in the Premier League also seems to have joined the recruitment of Kim Min-jae. 바카라
"Newcastle set a transfer fee of 50 million euros (about 81.5 billion won) and contacted Kim Min-jae's agent," British Football Insider reported.
In addition, Newcastle has used its financial leeway based on Saudi sovereign wealth fund (PIF) funds as a weapon, adding that it is not behind in the competition with SPL (Saudi Pro League) clubs.
