Kim Min-jae could be on his way out of Bayern Munich at the end of the season, and multiple top clubs are monitoring his situation.
According to reports from FussballDaten, the player would prefer to stay at the German club and continue to prove himself with Bayern, but he is not an indispensable member of the team, and they could look to sell him because of his significant wages.
Also, the 29-year-old defender has started just 18 league matches this season, and he needs to play more often. Leaving the UEFA Champions League semi-finalists would be ideal for him as well.
Bayern prepared to sell Kim Min-jae
The German club would accept a fee of around €40 million in order to sell the player. The South Korean international earns €16 million per season, and Bayern Munich look to cut costs with his departure.
The report further claims that Tottenham Hotspur have already expressed interest in signing the player, and it remains to be seen whether they are prepared to pay the asking price. They could use more depth in central defence, especially with players like Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven linked with moves away from the club in recent weeks.
Min-jae could be a handy option
Min-jae has shown his quality in Italy and Germany. He has the physicality to succeed in English football as well. He could prove to be the ideal acquisition for the North London club. He has been described as an “iron wall” by the German outlet.
The reported asking price seems reasonable for a player of his quality and experience.
It remains to be seen whether Spurs can secure Premier League safety and get the deal done in the summer. They will face competition from Newcastle United. Italian clubs like Juventus, AC Milan, and Inter Milan are also closely monitoring his situation. The asking price is quite affordable, and it will be interesting to see where he ends up.
