Germany's Bavarian Football reported on the 4th (Korea Standard Time) 'Bayern will demand a 25% salary cut from Kimihi, which could reduce the overall salary budget by 20%.
News poured in that Kimihi would leave Bayern, where he had been in charge for nine seasons since 2015. Already, rumors of Kimihi's transfer have been raised steadily since last summer, but Kimihi has consistently chosen to stay. At the time of last summer, news spread that Kimihi could take on a new challenge, drawing attention from Barcelona and Manchester City, but the transfer was not completed again.
In the transfer market last winter, Kimihi's choice was only to stay. However, the number of clubs paying attention to the gap between the club and the players has increased as the contract period between Kimihi and Bayern is not long until summer 2025.

Bayern gave Kimihi the last option. It looks like he will only wait to decide whether to cut his weekly pay sharply or leave the team.
Bavarian Football is not entirely away from Bayern's chances of retaining Kimihi, but that does not mean it is optimistic. Bayern will demand Kimihi accept large weekly pay cuts, the news said.
Then 'It seems unlikely that Kimihi and Bayern will reach an agreement. In order for Kimihi to remain at Bayern, he will have to cut at least a quarter of his 20 million euros (about 30 billion won) in annual salary. It is not known whether he will agree.
In the end, Bayern is expected to start selling Kimihi this summer unless Kimihi gives up 25% of his weekly salary.

He is a player who has been at the core of the team by playing for Bayern for nine seasons, but it seems difficult to hold out in the face of the blowing fresh wind.
