"Bayern closed the door to a potential Kim Min-jae departure last summer and in January because Vincent Kompany's desire was to keep his squad together. However, the situation could change in the summer and the door could be open as Kim is struggling for game time behind Tah and Upamecano."
"Italian clubs are monitoring the defender's situation. Kim earns a high salary at Bayern. Since the club had signed him for a release clause under his value back in 2023, they 'loaded up' a bit on the salary."
"It would not be a shock to see Kim push for an exit, but there have been reports that he would be happy to stay in Bavaria. Whatever the case, the pathway to playing time with Bayern Munich is seemingly blocked for the big South Korean."
Kim Min-jae's future at Bayern Munich is uncertain as he struggles for game time, being the third choice at center-back. Last summer and January, Bayern rejected his departure to maintain squad stability. However, with Italian clubs interested and Kim's high salary, a move could be possible. Despite his limited playing opportunities, reports suggest he might prefer to stay. The situation indicates that a transfer could benefit both Kim and Bayern, given the current depth chart.
