Tottenham Hotspur have been credited with an interest in an experienced Bayern Munich star, who has fallen down Vincent Kompany’s pecking order.
Spurs have a good relationship with Bayern, with the two clubs involved in four different transfer deals over the last two years.
Harry Kane and Eric Dier went from N17 to the Allianz Arena, while Mathys Tel and Joao Palhinha have come in the other direction.
Reports indicate that Tottenham could hold talks with Bayern over a permanent deal for Palhinha in January, but he is not the only player that the Lilywhites are allegedly interested in.
Spurs interested in Bayern Munich centre-back
According to FlashScore, Tottenham are one of several clubs interested in Bayern defender Kim Min-jae, who is no longer a regular starter for the Bavarian side.
It is pointed out that the South Korean has fallen behind in Vincent Kompany’s pecking order, with Jonathan Tah and Dayot Upamecano being the Belgian’s preferred centre-back pairing at the moment.
If the 28-year-old is put up for sale next summer, several clubs across Europe are expected to show interest, with Spurs being one of them.

The Bundesliga club are open to the idea of selling Kim at the end of the season, but it is explained that they will not make a final decision until the latter stage of the campaign.
How much will Tottenham have to pay for Kim Min-jae and who else is interested?
Flashscore say that the frontrunners at this stage for the centre-back are Inter Milan and AC Milan, who are very keen on the player, given his impressive spell at Napoli.
In the Premier League, Chelsea are also said to be fans of Kim, while Liverpool are believed to be keeping an eye on his situation.
The publication says that Bayern would want the €50m (£44m) they paid for the centre-back in 2023 to be matched in order to cash in on the player.
