October 27th, German journalist Falke revealed that the top three northern Serie A players are interested in bringing in Bayern central defender Kim Min-jae, and the latter does not rule out the possibility of leaving the team in the winter window.

Bayern Munich defender Kim Min-jae may become a popular target in the 2026 summer transfer window, but the possibility of leaving the team in January is not ruled out. This season, the South Korean international has been ranked behind Pamecano and Jonathan Tower in the team's pecking order.

However, the 28-year-old defender performed well in his limited playing opportunities, and even delivered a perfect answer in the 3-0 victory over Monchengladbach. During the summer transfer window, there was speculation about whether Bayern was willing to sell Kim Min-jae, but in the end it did not happen. The South Korean international has only had 2 starts in the Bundesliga this season and has another 2 appearances as a substitute. He has made three appearances in the Champions League this season.

The reporter pointed out that Juventus has shown strong interest in signing Kim Min-jae in January, but the more likely transfer window is next summer. AC Milan and Inter Milan have also expressed substantial interest in the central defender, and there is a possibility that the player will leave the team in the winter window.

Bayern is competing for Crystal Palace defender Mark Guei. If it can successfully introduce him in January, it will pave the way for Kim Min-jae to leave the team.

Falk said: "The situation is true: Juventus may try to sign Kim Min-jae in January. Bayern is certainly unwilling to sell in the winter window. But if they can sign Guey by then, this will create a turning point. "

" However, it needs to be noted that Juventus is not the only Italian club interested in Kim Min-jae. AC Milan and Inter Milan are currently more specific in their pursuit of Kim, and these two clubs do exist. in substantial interest. "

"It can be seen that his performance when playing for Naples is still remembered by Serie A. The South Korean international is highly favored in the Italian market. The Milan duo will try to complete the signing in the summer window, but if an opportunity arises in the winter window, I believe they will also be considered. "

Guey's contract will expire next summer, which is indeed a good opportunity for Bayern to sign him at a preferential price in the winter window. But the club also needs to solve another important issue: Upamecano's contract will also expire next summer, and so far Bayern has not reached a contract extension agreement with him.

Although the club is confident in retaining the French central defender, there are still variables in the situation. If Pamecano eventually leaves the team, will Bayern still be willing to release an experienced defender like Kim Min-jae? All remains to be seen.
