Kim Minjae was well received for his good performance, but bad news was also reported that his competitor could be added next season.
Kim Minjae started in the 30th round of the Bundesliga against Union Berlin on the 20th, and got out of the swamp of sluggishness that continued in the second half. Kim Minjae played for about 59 minutes and showed good performance even though he did not play full time.
Against Union Berlin, Kim Minjae also showed his performance in the 59th minute with a 98 percent pass success rate, two long passes two attempts, one tackle, two interceptions, three ball recoveries, and six contested wins eight attempts. Bayern lost one goal after Kim Minjae left the club.
Various media also gave positive reviews to Kim Minjae's performance. The German media, which had been cold, turned around. Kicker, a leading German magazine, gave Kim a 2.5 rating and gave him a higher rating than his partner Dyer rated in 3. Kicker has been giving a cold evaluation to Kim Minjae to the extent that he insisted on excluding him from the starting lineup and directly analyzed the reason for Kim's poor performance, but he did not give harsh criticism on his performance in the match against Berlin.
German media outlet Tecce also gave Kim Minjae two points, evaluating that "Kim Minjae settled the situation in the contest with Kevin Poland and formed a strong defense line through careful play." Germany's SPOX also praised Kim Minjae by saying, "He confidently blocked everything, and he was awake." Most German media gave good reviews to Kim Minjae.
It was also an honor to be named as the team of Lee Ju. After the relevant round, European soccer statistics outlet Huskyd.COM revealed the team of Lee Ju for the 30th round of the German Bundesliga for the 20232024 season. Kim Minjae joined the team of Lee Ju along with teammates Harry Kane, Thomas Müller, Leon Goretzka and Matisse Tell. Among the center backs, only Kim Minjae replaced Eric Dier and Dayot Upamecano.
It was recently reported that Kim Minjae will remain in Bayern in the next season and continue the main competition, and this performance raised expectations for the main competition.
However, not all things were going well. The possibility of a transfer of Bayern's desired center back candidate suddenly was raised, and there was also a prospect that the competition for the next season could become fiercer.
Germany's Fusval Europa reported on the 23rd, "Bayern's hope? Barcelana no longer rules out the sale of Ronald Araujo."
Araujo is a center back that Bayern has wanted to recruit since last winter's transfer market. With fast speed and excellent oneonone personal defense, Araujo is a player who can help Bayern reinforce its center back. Initially, Barcelona refused to sell Araujo as its core, but the situation seems to have changed ahead of the summer transfer market.
"Barcelona are ready to hear the offer for Araujo. We would like to hear the offer in the summer, which is a great opportunity for Bayern. The transfer fee that we want is around 100 million euros, and Bayern is reportedly ready to put the 60 million euros to 70 million euros about 88.4 billion to 103 billion won on the negotiation table first," FusbalEuropa said.
"Araujo may become Bayern's defensive chief and plan for changes. The team will undergo a major reshuffle in the summer, and Upamecano and Kim are considered candidates to leave for Araujo's post. Bayern could set up a transfer fee for Araujo by selling the two players," he said, predicting that Kim's position in the team may decrease or that the team should consider a transfer.
Kim Minjae's transfer will be decided after the appointment of the next season's most important coach. If the next coach insists on recruiting Arauho, Kim Minjae may also have to leave Bayern along with Upamecano. However, considering Kim Minjae's skills, there is a possibility that he will not seek to recruit Arauho.
As soon as Kim Minjae's first performance in the second half came out, the possibility of a transfer was reported. It also became clear why Kim Minjae should play more earnestly whenever he receives the opportunity for the rest of the season. 토토사이트
