South Korean defender Kim Min-jae of Bayern Munich has become a primary transfer target for Italian football giants.
Operative Information Center-OMM, citing insider Fabrizio Romano, reports that Juventus is the club most interested in the services of the 29-year-old player.
However, a significant obstacle exists for the potential transfer. The player's current salary is notably high for Italian clubs, meaning he would likely need to agree to a substantial pay cut for the deal to proceed. It is reported that the German club is prepared to evaluate offers for the center-back during the upcoming summer transfer window.
Kim Min-jae moved to the Munich-based club from Napoli in the summer of 2023. According to the Transfermarkt portal, the former Naples star currently has a market value of 25 million euros. The defender was a key figure in Napoli's historic Serie A title win before his move to the Bundesliga, and his potential return to Italy highlights Juventus's strategy to strengthen its defensive core with proven talent from the Italian top flight.
