XXL salary revealed: This is how much super-sub Minjae Kim earns at Bayern | OneFootball

At FC Bayern, Minjae Kim is currently not part of the starting eleven. Jonathan Tah and Dayot Upamecano are ahead under Vincent Kompany. A sale of the South Korean was already discussed last summer. A departure of Kim could become a topic again next year. However, due to his high salary, such a scenario might be difficult to realize.

Last season, Minjae Kim regularly appeared in the starting lineup under Vincent Kompany. However, in the summer, the Munich club signed national player Jonathan Tah on a free transfer. Additionally, Dayot Upamecano is considered a fixture under Kompany. The situation quickly changed for the South Korean national player, also due to ongoing Achilles tendon problems.

Therefore, a sale could be considered for Bayern next summer. The problem: Kim earns a substantial salary at Munich. Transfer insider Fabrizio Romano now reports that Kim earns a net eight to nine million euros per year at FC Bayern, including bonuses.

Italian clubs cannot afford Kim's salary

It is further reported that despite the interest from Inter Milan and other Italian clubs, it is very complicated for them to bring him back to Italy with such a salary. The Munich club signed the 28-year-old in the summer of 2023 from Napoli for a transfer fee of 50 million euros.

The market value of the central defender is now 32 million euros. Kim is under contract with Bayern until 2028. Currently, the right-footer is the third central defender at the German champion. Alongside Upamecano, Tah, and Kim, Hiroki Ito is the fourth central defender, but he has been absent for some time due to injury.

Additionally, according to consistent media reports, Bayern is interested in Marc Guehi from Crystal Palace. Should the Munich club sign another central defender in the summer, Kim might no longer have a future at FCB.
