Kim Min-jae is one of the most sought-after central defenders in Europe, especially after his fantastic season with Napoli, which saw him win the Serie A title. Although he was tipped for a move to the Premier League, the player is now wanted by another huge club from the old continent.

Bayern Munich joined the fight for the transfer of Kim Min-jae

Kim Min-jae impressed in his first season in a Napoli shirt.

The 26-year-old defender made 35 appearances in his first year in Serie A and was one of Luciano Spalletti’s key players in helping Napoli win the title.

Although there were rumors that the player was close to a transfer to Manchester United, the journalists of Gazzetta dello Sport write that the giant club made a better counter-offer for the Italian.

In particular, the main favorite for the transfer of Kim Min-jae was “Manchester United”, and recently “Newcastle” was interested in the services of the South Korean football player.

The source mentions that Bayern Munich would make a better offer than Manchester United for both the player and Napoli.

€60 million would be offered to the Germans for a player who would replace Dayot Upamecano in the first 11, a footballer who had modest developments at the wrong moments for the Bavarians.

According to Transfermarkt, Kim Min-jae is valued at €60 million and was transferred to Napoli from Fenerbahce for just €18.05 million.
