'Monster'Kim Min-jae is also reportedly receiving quite a high salary in Bayern Munich.

On the 18th (Korea time), Germany's Sportbild revealed the annual salary of the Bayern Munich squad this season. Kim Min-jae was ranked sixth overall, receiving 17 million euros. It was the same amount as Thomas Müller and midfielder Leon Goretzka, who are the team's symbol.

Kim Min-jae moved to Bayern last summer. Kim Min-jae led Napoli to the championship at the time and was considered the best defender in Italy's Serie A. Many clubs, including Manchester United, sent love calls. Bayern, which jumped in late, captured Kim Min-jae's heart. In the process, he promised a high salary, but the scale was larger than expected.



Of course, we need to look at the details. According to Bild's report, the base salary is 11 million euros. You must play in at least 15 games to receive a bonus. €17 million is almost Max, which requires more than 47 appearances. To play more than 47 games, they must advance to the semifinals in the European Champions League or DFB Pokal.

Nevertheless, it is clear that it is a high sum. Is it because of this. Kim Min-jae is receiving very harsh reviews locally. If you fail to score an attack point, you will almost get the lowest score in the team. Even though they played well, they are often undervalued. Lotar Mateus has made several bad comments. Some fans even say 'Isn't this racist?'



There are six players above Kim Min-jae, and the highest-paid player in Bayern is Harry Kane, who joined the club. Kane is being paid 24 million euros. Kane finished with no title last season, but he paid for it to some extent as he was the top scorer. Leroy Zane, Joshua Kimmich followed with 20 million euros, followed by Kingsley Comang and Serge Navri with 19 million euros just above Kim Min-jae.

Kim Min-jae's partner Dayo Upamecano is receiving an annual salary of 16 million euros, and Jamal Musiala, who is currently the same as Bayern's ace, is only 9 million euros.



Eric Dier cost 7 million euros, while Japanese defender Hiroki Ito, who newly wore a Bayern uniform this summer, cost 5.5 million euros.
