Bayern Plan to Keep Kim Min‑jae, Report Says
Sky Germany reports the club reversed earlier thinking after Kim signalled he did not want to leave, his contract runs to 2028, with a roughly €15 million 2026/27 package deterring potential buyers.
Overview
- A Sky Germany report by Florian Plettenberg, republished by Bavarian Football Works, said on Monday that Bayern no longer consider Kim Min‑jae a sale candidate.
- The report says Kim himself was not seeking a summer move, which helped push the club to plan for him to stay.
- Kim’s contract runs through 2028 and his estimated €15 million total package for 2026/27 would make him expensive for potential buyers.
- Bayern would only consider selling if an extraordinary offer arrived and Kim personally wanted to accept it, making a transfer unlikely under normal market conditions.
- The update reverses weeks of transfer speculation but comes from media reporting rather than an official Bayern statement, so the situation could change if a formal bid appears.
