"Kim Min-jae is fine with his current role as a 'challenger' and is accepting it. Even the decision to leave him out of the squad against Hoffenheim didn't affect him. Kim still feels comfortable at Bayern. The thoughts about a possible summer departure are rather coming from the club. The player is not pushing for a move despite Premier League interest. Bayern, meanwhile, are ready to listen to offers in the summer."
"BFW: Okay, this problematic for a few reasons - first, Bayern Munich did not pay €50 million for a guy content to be a 'challenger.' Second, he is getting paid a €12 million salary and an annual bonus of €3 million - which is far too much for a player to be content to be on the bench."
Kim Min-jae is reportedly comfortable serving as a challenger for Bayern and accepted being left out of the squad against Hoffenheim without visible impact. The club is considering a possible summer departure while the player is not pushing for a move despite Premier League interest. Bayern are prepared to listen to offers in the summer. Bayern paid a substantial fee and currently pays Kim a €12 million salary plus a €3 million annual bonus. The combination of fee, wages, and a fringe role raises concerns given his reputation as an affable, hardworking, physical defender nicknamed The Monster.
