"Kim could be on the way out of Munich in the winter. The main reason is next summer's World Cup. Kim is currently behind Dayot Upamecano and Jonathan Tah in Bayern's center back line. While the immense upcoming wave of games in all competitions means that Kim will most likely get his minutes, he could be looking for a club where he can get the majority of the minutes in light of the tournament in North America."
"Of course, this is just one report, and Bayern are not likely to let go of Kim unless a quality replacement comes along. Even if one does, the chances of that happening in winter, when big money signings are less common, are quite slim. Regardless of Kim's club status, he will be part of South Korea's back line at the World Cup finals next summer, barring any injuries."
Kim Min-jae currently sits behind Dayot Upamecano and Jonathan Tah in Bayern Munich's centre-back pecking order. Concerns about securing consistent playing time ahead of next summer's World Cup could prompt a winter move. Italian clubs have been mentioned as potential suitors. Bayern are unlikely to sell Kim without a quality replacement, and significant winter transfers are uncommon. Kim is expected to feature in South Korea's defence at the World Cup barring injury. The situation mirrors other internationals who maintain national-team roles despite reduced club minutes.
