Kim Min-jae (29, Bayern Munich)'s injury is getting longer than expected.
Germany's Bild said on the 3rd (Korea Standard Time) that "bad news came to Kim Min-jae, who is recovering from his injury."
"Kim Min-jae, who has severe left Achilles tendon inflammation, is currently being examined by a doctor familiar with the field in Korea," the media said. "The doctor recommended that Kim Min-jae take a rest until at least July 15, including his schedule for the Korean national team."
"According to the new information we have obtained, Kim Min-jae's injury is more serious than expected. We are also experiencing a nodular tumor problem that causes a lump in our left ankle," he said.
Participation in the FIFA Club World Cup 2025, which will be held from July 13 to July 13, is also expected to be difficult. Bayern Munich will play Auckland City (New Zealand), Boca Juniors (Argentina) and Benfica (Portugal) in Group C of the tournament from the 16th.
"Kim Min-jae cannot participate in pre-season training as well as the Club World Cup. For Coach Bang Sang Kompany, the departure of the Korean-made steel wall would be too painful," the media reported.
Kim Min-jae played in 43 official matches in Munich this season. Achilles tendon injuries have been raised since October last year, but at the end of the season, key defenders such as Dayo Upamecano, Ito Hiroki, and Alfonso Davis left due to injuries, causing Kompany to force Kim Min-jae to play, causing controversy over his overwork.
Now that the season is over, rumors of Kim Min-jae's release and love call are coming out at the same time. The most powerful teams in recent years are Serie A's prestigious Juventus and Inter Milan. In particular, it is reported that Juventus General Manager Cristiano Ziuntoli wants Kim Min-jae to return to Serie A. General Manager Ziuntoli had a great effect by recruiting Kim Min-jae in 2022 when he was Napoli's general manager. Napoli used Kim Min-jae's defense as the basis to lift the Serie A trophy for the first time in 33 years.
In the meantime, rumors of Kim Min-jae's transfer are mounting as Munich recruited German national center back Jonathan Ta from Leverkusen.
The soccer statistics media "Transfermarkt" also recently predicted "Munich's Best 11 in the 2025-2026 season," attracting attention by listing Targa instead of Kim Min-jae in the left center back seat. From the left of the four-back, Alfonso Davis, Tá, Dayo Upamecano and Josip Stanisic were located.
German media are also discussing the possibility that Kim will be sold in the summer transfer market. "Kim Min-jae has been nominated for the sale of Munich in this summer," Christian Polk and Tobias Altshapel of Bild Germany said last month. "Inside Munich, when Kim was hired from Napoli two years ago, he had more expectations than now. However, he failed to meet expectations and became the target of sale." 메이저놀이터
Kim Min-jae also says he can leave anytime. Polk and Altshaple reported that Kim Min-jae was criticized deeply as he played for Munich this season. "I don't mind leaving Munich if I get an attractive offer."
