Bayern Munich's Minjae Kim Speaks on Transfer Rumors!
The South Korean defender Minjae Kim speaks on transfer rumors surrounding FC Bayern. In the summer of 2023, Kim moved from Naples to FC Bayern for 50 million euros. There were rumors about Italian clubs and Turkish teams showing interest. Now, the South Korean star talks about whether he will leave FC Bayern or not!
What Kompany Says
Double-coach Kompany on Kim's role: „I'd like to give Minjae a compliment first! Regardless of the situation, he delivers on the pitch and doesn't talk off the pitch. He gives his all in training, he gives his all on the pitch, and his performances last season were really good.“ The Bayern coach further: „Generally, one can say that this is the number 1, 2, 3, or 4 in the defense – people like to make these rankings. But for me, it's much more important to see that he performs – and accordingly, the others must also bring their best performances. That's what I want on every position, not just in the defense.“
What Comes Next?
Kim also wants to stay and get more playing time than in the previous season – he had 37 official games under coach Vincent Kompany. French star Dayot Upamecano (27) made 42 games, German national defender Jonathan Tah (30) even 49. Kim on the competition with the two established center-backs: „We have a big competition for places in every season at Bayern. I'm very happy to measure myself against Tah and Upa. We have a good relationship and we talk a lot about the situations. I can also learn a lot. And that's the reason why I'm very satisfied.“
Current Situation
FC Bayern is currently without Lennart Karl and Serge Gnabry, who are both injured. The team hopes for a quick return of the two players.
