Kim Min-jae on the radar of English clubs

Two years after joining Bayern Munich, Kim Min-jae is facing a more uncertain period. Signed in 2023 from SSC Napoli, the 29-year-old center-back is no longer an undisputed starter in Bavaria.

Under Vincent Kompany’s leadership, the preferred central defensive pairing remains Dayot Upamecano and Jonathan Tah. Kim has played 23 matches this season, starting 13 of them—a decent amount of game time, but still below expectations.

According to reports, both Chelsea FC and Tottenham Hotspur are closely monitoring the situation. Tottenham are eager to bolster their backline to increase competition for Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven, while Chelsea are still looking to strengthen their defense after missing out on another top target.

Under contract until 2028 and capped 75 times for South Korea (with 4 goals), Kim Min-jae insists he is happy in Munich. But if his role doesn’t change, a move to the Premier League this summer could become a real possibility.
