“Munich is very satisfied with Kim Min-jae’s dedication.”
There are rumors that Italian professional football Serie A Inter Milan want Korean national team defender Kim Min-jae (Bayern Munich), but a European transfer expert denied that there was even an offer.
On the 24th (local time), the soccer media outlet ‘Cutoffside‘ dismissed the possibility of Kim Min-jae leaving Munich, citing a column by European soccer transfer expert Fabricio Romano.
Romano said, “There is talk that Dayot Upamecano is worried about his future, but from what I understand, that is not the case,” and “Kim Min-jae also says he is anxious about the future, but it is the same as Upamecano.”
He added, “Matthais de Ligt, Kim Min-jae and Upamecano have all been involved in transfer rumors, but in reality, nothing has been decided.”
Recently, Italian media ‘Gazzetta dello Sport‘ reported that Inter Milan, an Italian professional soccer team in Serie A, is watching Kim Min-jae as the right person to fill the vacancy of Francesco Acervi, who is likely to be disciplined for making racist remarks.
Acervi was at risk of disciplinary action after making a racist comment to opposing defender Joao Jesus during the 29th round league match against Napoli (1-1 draw) on the 18th.
Inter Milan is in danger of losing its main defender until the beginning of next season, as he is expected to be suspended for at least 10 games. Accordingly, there were rumors that Kim Min-jae, who is currently not in a good position in Munich and played in Naples until last season and has no problems adjusting to the Italian stage, is planning to fill the void. However, Romano denied the rumor, saying nothing has been decided. Rather, the key is what kind of coach will be the successor to Thomas Tuchel, who is leaving Munich at the end of this season, and Munich put weight on Kim Min-jae’s stay, saying they are very satisfied with his dedication. Meanwhile, Kim Min-jae has been called up to the Korean national team led by interim coach Hyeonja Hwang Seon-hong for the March international match period. On the 21st, he played full-time in the 3rd match (1-1 draw) of the 2026 FIFA North and Central America World Cup Asian region 2nd qualifying match against Thailand. The Korean national team will play the 4th game against Thailand on the 26th. Minjae Kim plans to return to his team after the game. 한국야동
