Italy's Gazeta said on the 7th (Hinguk time) 'Kim Min-jae is an opportunity for Inter Milan to strengthen its position to regain vitality' Inter Milan still wants Kim Min-jae. Gazeta has been connecting Kim Min-jae to Inter Milan since the second half of the 2023-2024 season.
It is then Kim Min-jae, the 2023 winner who can strengthen Inter Milan in the 2024-2025 season. Kim Min-jae is perceived by everyone as one of the defenders who led Napoli to an outstanding championship win. Bayern Munich paid 50 million euros (about 74.6 billion won), but they were not sure about Kim Min-jae in the German Bundesliga. He added that he might leave on a lease.
Gazeta even analyzed why it could be connected to Kim Min-jae and Inter Milan. The decision to move to Bayern, the best club in Europe, was intended to show the highest level of performance, but not all went smoothly' and analyzed the possibility of Kim's release, saying that the path leading Kim Min-jae to Inter Milan has become viable for at least a few reasons.
|
It is an analysis that is correct to some extent and wrong to some extent. Kim Minjae only did it until the first half of the year Along with Upamecano, he had the full confidence of Thomas Tuchel. It was not a world-class performance he showed during his Napoli days, but it was more fortunate for Bayern that Kim Min-jae collapsed due to injury in the first half or his performance did not decline further.
After the 2023 Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Asian Cup, Kim Min-jae's performance declined as he began to lose ground in the main competition. The sense of stability also declined, and mistakes that were not made on the field began to come out. No one imagined Kim Min-jae would be behind Eric Dier, but it really happened.
|
The second reason why Kim Min-jae and Inter Milan were connected was that Bayern was already recruiting additional players to strengthen its central defender. 'It should be added that we have moved to strengthen the central department in Bayern. In mid-June, Bayern acquired Japanese Hiroki Ito from Stuttgart for 30 million euros (about 44.7 billion won)' First, he mentioned recruiting Hiroki.
Following this, last summer, Kim Min-jae was Bayern's second-largest transfer fee after Harry Kane, but now there is a possibility that he will enter the transfer market due to fierce competition in the Bayern defense. Kim Min-jae is in a completely opposite situation from last summer.
|
Currently, there is also Jonathan, who could be recruited additionally. Dayo Upamecano will be sold if Ta is recruited. As the transfer market progresses, rumors of Kim Min-jae's release from Bayern are disappearing. Even with a new centre-back, Kim Min-jae will try to protect at Bayern. Just because Hiroki is recruited, there is no guarantee that Kim Min-jae will be immediately pushed out. It's a competition after all.
The third reason was Inter Milan's constant interest in Kim Min-jae. 'Inter Milan leaders had already been tracking Kim Min-jae since the summer of 2022, when they began courting Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) Milan Shkriniar. Then nothing happened, but today things have changed and Inter Milan can tempt Bayern's sad giant' explained Inter Milan were interested even before Kim Min-jae moved to Napoli.
|
It was also added that the relationship between Bayern and Inter Milan was good. It is true that the relationship between the two clubs is really close, as Ben-Jamain Pavard and Jan Zommer both left Bayern and moved to Inter Milan last summer.
However, in the case of the two players, Bayern attempted to sell them. Kim Min-jae is a player that Bayern did not put on the transfer market, so it doesn't mean much if he shows interest in Inter Milan. Crucially, the way Kim Min-jae can be taken from Inter Milan is not realistic.
|
Even if Bayern tries to sell Kim Min-jae, it will make a complete transfer unconditionally. This is because Kim Min-jae is now in his late 20s, so the market value decreases as the season passes. Bayern will also not send an expensive player like Kim Min-jae on loan, as they need to raise additional cash for a major reinforcement this summer.
Currently, Kim Min-jae's trip to Inter Milan, proposed by Gazeta, seems very unlikely. Kim Min-jae wants to stay at Bayern and prove his skills. There is no motivation to return to the Italian stage by choosing to go to Inter Milan.
