Sky Sports Germany reporter Florian Plattenberg said on the 10th (Korea time), “One of Kim Min-jae or Dayot Upamecano will leave Munich,” and “Munich is looking to recruit new players like Jonathan Ta (Leverkusen) for the center according to the situation. “There is,” said the reporter Plattenberg who reported the news of the transfer of Kim Min-jae to Munich last summer. yes
However, the Munich fans expressed the opinion that Kim Min-jae should be given a chance. Munich fan page Bayern & Football reported Plattenberg’s news via social media. Many Munich fans commented on this. Most of them said that Upamecano should leave rather than Kim Min-jae. Comments like “I hope it’s not Kim Min-jae”, “Upamecano should move”, and “We gave Upamecano a chance. Now he has to leave” were left behind.
Indeed, voices were calling for Kim Min-jae’s playing time to be increased. One fan said, “Kim Min-jae wasn’t that bad. If you keep him on the bench for that long, you can’t expect him to show a great performance against the best attacking team in the world (Real Madrid) .” Another fan also wrote, “Kim Min-jae deserves one more season.”
Kim Min-jae is having a tough time this season. After leading his former team Napoli (Italy) to victory in Serie A last season, he moved to Munich, and unlike his role as a key player at the start of the season, Hodge was pushed to the bench. Recently, Munich have Matthijs Dericht and Eric Dier as the starting midfielders. Here, Minjae Kim even made a fatal mistake. He started as a starter in place of Dericht, who suffered a knee injury in the home game against Real Madrid (Spain) in the first leg of the European Champions League semi-final, and was shocked to be involved in both sides of the team. admitted goals. Playing aggressive defence, they were allowed space behind them, giving them an excuse to concede the first goal, and even allowing a penalty kick in the 37th minute of the second half when the team was leading 2-1. In the end, Munich drew 2-2 in the first leg.
In the second leg of the semi-final which took place on the 9th, Kim Min-jae was substituted at the 31st minute of the second half when the team took a 1-0 lead. However, Munich conceded two goals later and lost 1-2. Although he didn’t leave a strong impression, unlike the first game, Kim Min-jae didn’t make any big mistakes. In fact, he even showed his dedication by playing as a left-back rather than a centre-back. However, because the fall in the first game was so strong, criticism could not be avoided. The local media poured criticism towards Kim Min-jae.

Germany’s TZ previously claimed he would be sold this summer, saying, “Munich’s management has judged that the recruitment of Kim Min-jae has failed. The price for Kim Min-jae has already been install.” Germany’s FCB Inside also borrowed from Bild’s report and reported, “Munich put Kim Min-jae on the release list.”
Kim Min-jae is being linked to Manchester United (England), the big Serie A club Juventus, and his former team Napoli, who had a recruitment war with Munich last summer. However, the Munich fans wanted Kim Min-jae to stay. He was one of the best centre-backs in the world during his time at Napoli, and as it was only a year since he joined the new team, they decided to give him a chance.
French midfielder Upamecano, whose position has been narrowed along with Kim Min-jae, wore the Munich uniform in 2021. However, he received a lot of criticism due to repeated mistakes and frequent injuries. He seemed to be regaining the trust of the Munich fans by showing a different side at the start of this season, but it fell apart again. In the end, he was relegated to the 4th position as Munich’s centre-back option.
