Inter Milan's willingness to rent first appeared in Italy, where Kim Min-jae played an active role. Italy's Gazeta Delo Sport said, `Kim Min-jae is now likely to be in the transfer market due to the fierce competition of Bayern's defense,' adding that `Inter is in the right situation.' Inter Milan can seduce Kim Min-jae. It's the best place for a Napoli-era outstanding center back to return.

Inter Milan has already been known to want to recruit Kim Min-jae since March. Some media reported that the coach himself requested Kim Min-jae, saying that `Simone In Jae requested Kim Min-jae.'
In addition, Bayern also began reorganizing its defense with the appointment of Bang Sang Kompany. German media have already reported that all players could be included in the reorganization, except for Eric Dier and newly recruited Hiroki Ito.
Fusbal Transfer said 'Bayern's biggest reorganization position is its centre-back position. Only Eric Dier is solid for the upcoming season, and there is no centre-back who can't sell. The same goes for Kim Min-jae. He was Italy's best centre-back, but had a tough time at Bayern, and is likely to break up after a season. 'In order for Inter Milan to take him, it will only be available on loan, but it seems that they will also need transfer revenue for the loan' explained Kim Min-jae's situation.

Considering Kim Min-jae's performance in Naples, it is natural that Inter Milan is aiming. Kim Min-jae left Turkiye Fenerbahce ahead of last season and joined Napoli in his first season, and Kim Min-jae immediately established himself as the main center back and played a key role in winning. In a total of 52 games of the season, he scored two goals and two assists, helping Napoli reach the top of the league for the first time in 33 years since the 1989-1090 season.
If he returns to the Serie A stage, he is likely to leap again. In addition to Inter Milan, there has already been news that Juventus also wants general manager Cristiano Ziuntoli to reunite with Kim Min-jae.

However, it is unclear whether Kim Min-jae will accept Inter Milan's loan transfer. Kim Min-jae has consistently expressed his desire to play for Bayern in the next season. In a season-ending interview, he played with conviction all the time as a defender. But there was an internal conflict here because those qualities were not required.'
However, Kim Min-jae often hesitated about these issues because he could not play with confidence during the game. I worked hard to show you what the director wanted"I should have done a better job of doing the director's demands tactically, but I didn't always do that. I understand. As a player, whether you make mistakes or do well, you have to know what you are good at and what you are bad at in the field," he said, adding that he should have fully understood Tuchel's criticism and done better on his own.
Kim Min-jae also strengthened his will to play more in the next season based on the disappointment of this season. "It's a season that I'm not personally happy with, and I have to improve further next season. At the end of the season, I always have a lot of thoughts. What I did right, what I lacked, and what I needed. It is also important to make mistakes and learn from them when weaknesses are seen. It is important to reflect on everything well to be able to compete at a high level as a player. I'm going to get stronger next seasonApart from the transfer rumor that he will leave Bayern after a year, he expressed his determination to rebound so that he can play more.

Also, for Kim Min-jae, the transfer rumor is regrettable. Kim Min-jae had a disappointing performance in the second half, but in the first half, he had to play with little time to rest to fill the vacancy without Dayot Upamecano and Matthias Derricht. Kim Min-jae's overwork was not predicted from the beginning of the season. Bayern had a total of three outstanding center backs this season, Kim Min-jae, Matheis Diricht and Dayot Upamecano, so it was expected that there would be no major difficulties in operating the defense.It was the injury of teammates that caught the ankle. Duricht was consistently sidelined by injury, as was Upamecano.
Kim Min-jae is responsible for all the burdens, and he played full-time in 15 consecutive games as a starter in the early game of the season, leading to controversy over overwork. Although it is inevitable due to injuries to teammates, Kim Min-jae also had a difficult time, showing signs of exhaustion during the league game due to continued full-time digestion. In this situation, if Kim Min-jae immediately increases the possibility of Inter Milan's loan with the recruitment of Ito, Kim Min-jae could also be disappointed in Bayern's treatment.
A love call appeared on the stage that made Kim Min-jae the world's top defender. Whether Kim Min-jae really wants to return to Serie A or continues his challenge in the Bundesliga is also expected to receive great attention.
