The ransom of monster Kim Min-jae (27, Naples) jumped even more. He has surpassed Son Heung-min (31, Tottenham) and became the highest ransom in Asia. Along with this, negotiations for Kim Min-jae’s transfer to Bayern Munich (Germany) are also in an atmosphere that is almost finished. It is news that Munich and Kim Min-jae met and negotiated.
On the 23rd (Korean time), Transfer Mark, specializing in the transfer market, revealed the new ransom price of Kim Min-jae. It jumped from his previous ransom of 50 million euros (about 71 billion won) to 60 million euros (about 85.6 billion won). As a result, Kim Min-jae was evaluated as the most expensive player among Asian players. Originally, “Asia’s No. 1 Ransom” was Son Heung-min, but his ransom price dropped from 60 million euros to 50 million euros, and at the same time, Kim Min-jae’s ransom soared, and his place changed. He is a ransom that is tied for 8th overall when considering the center back position around the world. This is the part where you can know the great status of Kim Min-jae.
Kim Min-jae’s transfer to Munich is also going positively. On the 23rd, Germany’s Bild reporter Toby Altschaffle posted on social media, “The Munich technical director Marco Nepe and Kim Min-jae’s agent were spotted meeting in Lisbon, Portugal to continue negotiations. Negotiations are going well, but no agreement has yet been reached. Complicating this is that Kim Min-jae cannot participate due to military service.” Regarding this, Italy’s Ilmatino said on the same day, “Munich won the recruitment competition with Manchester United. It was a negotiation to finalize the agreement. Won),” he explained. “We have set dates such as when Munich will offer 50 million euros and when Kim Min-jae will activate the buyout clause after the basic military training is over.”
The previous day (22nd), the German edition of Sky Sports reported, “Munich is trying to complete the recruitment of Kim Min-jae within a few days. Negotiations are proceeding as planned, and Kim Min-jae has made it clear that he wants to go to Munich.”
This summer, Munich is preparing for a storm signing. They have already signed midfielder Conrad Reimer and side defender Rafael Guerreiro. It seems to be trying to quickly finish the recruitment of Kim Min-jae by continuing the atmosphere. There is a reason why Munich wants to sign a centre-back. Via the transfer window, team defenders Luca Hernandez and Benjamin Pavard are set to leave the team. Hernandez is linked with Paris Saint-Germain (France) and Pavard with Barcelona (Spain). If these two players leave the team, only two of Munich’s centre-backs will be left, Upamecano and Mathais Dericht. They are trying to deepen the squad depth by recruiting Kim Min-jae. Including this, Munich is sending love calls to Kyle Walker (Man City) and Pau Forres (Villarreal).
Sky Sports explained, “Both Hernández and Pavard want to leave Munich. So Munich need a centre-back, and also aim for Walker and Torres.” Fanside, specializing in sports, predicted, “It would not be a big surprise if Munich would sign both Kim Min-jae and Torres with the proceeds from the transfer of Pavar and Hernandez.”

He participated in the 2018 Asian Games in Jakarta and Palembang, led the Korean national soccer team to a gold medal, and became eligible for military service exceptions. He is transferred as a physical education agent, undergoes basic military training, and has to complete 544 hours of volunteer work over 34 months. When his basic military training schedule is over, his transfer to Munich is expected to be finalized. Italian Calcio Napoli said, “The transfer of Kim Min-jae to Munich will be completed in mid-July, when the buyout clause can be triggered after completing his military training.”
This season, Kim Min-jae is evaluated as one of the best center backs in Europe beyond Serie A. After wearing the Napoli uniform last year, he showed off solid defense in every game and led Napoli to the league title. Thanks to this, in less than a season since he was transferred, he has attracted interest from numerous big clubs. In the first place, Kim Min-jae was rumored to be transferring to various teams such as Manchester United in England, Newcastle, and Paris Saint-Germain in France. He recently jumped into competition with Man City (England), who achieved the European treble. However, Munich moved the most aggressively and took the lead in the scouting match.
I have high expectations for Kim Min-jae. German football and Munich legend Lothar Matheus praised Sky Sports, saying, “Kim Min-jae and Walker will be good transfers. Kim Min-jae had a fantastic season at Napoli, and he will also be suitable for Munich.”
National team coach Jürgen Klinsmann also said at a press conference on the 22nd, “We do not know exactly the progress of Min-jae Kim negotiations. If Min-jae Kim goes to Germany, we can help. Also, many German reporters ask about Min-jae Kim.” The future is bright. You can see how much the status of Korean football has risen. It is a proud moment. It is an honor to be able to share these moments together. As a leader, if there is anything I can do to help the players, I will do my best.”
