Kim Min-jae firmly blocked the transfer rumor.
Bayern Munich is scheduled to play two games of the “2024 Coupang Play Series” against Tottenham at Seoul World Cup Stadium at 8 p.m. on the 3rd. Prior to the match, Kim Min-jae, Munich’s top center back, attended the press conference.
Rumors of Kim Min-jae’s transfer continue to flow. German media “Kicker” also reported on the possibility of Kim Min-jae’s transfer on July 29 (Korea time).
Munich suddenly changed. Munich had a friendly match with FC Duren on the 28th (Korea time). Hiroki Ito, who was acquired from the summer transfer market, was injured in the match. Ito will be absent for several months because he suffered a fractured metatarsal bone.
A week ago, Honorary Chairman Uli Hönes said, “There is no problem even if The Ligt stays. And personally, I will not sell Upamecano.” This means that Munich will never sell Dyer and Upamecano at the moment. The problem was the future of The Ligt and Kim Min-jae.
The media reported, “The only team that wants The Ligt is Manchester United. However, there is a significant difference in transfer fees between Manchester United and Munich. Munich is also willing to leave The Ligt if Manchester United gives up on recruiting him. As Munich is currently negotiating with Yonatantha, Kim Min-jae can become a candidate for sale again if The Ligt chooses to stay.” 메이저놀이터
However, Kim completely blocked rumors of a transfer. On the rumor that Kim might leave Munich, Kim said, “I have never tried to leave Munich, nor have I thought about it. I will settle down well in Munich.”
Kim also replied about what he talked about with the new coach, Kompany, and how he was compatible. Kim replied, “First of all, I didn’t spend a long time with the coach, but he was so famous that I’m trying to listen to his advice and copy him. I think Kompany wants an active defensive style. I think that suits me well.”
Kim also answered whether he trained as much as �m in the pre-season. “I’ve never fully pre-season because I’ve moved many teams. All pre-season games are the same. I haven’t focused much on anything, but I’m trying to adapt new tactics with the new coach and perform well that meets my expectations,” Kim said.
