It was claimed in France that Lee Kang-in's team Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) showed interest in Kim Min-jae.바카라
PSG is also drawing attention to the fact that it is the winner of the UEFA Champions League on the 1st. If Kim Min-jae transfers, he will be able to win back various championship trophies, including Ligue 1, the first division of France. It is also possible to win the third trophy of Europe's five major leagues after Italy's Serie A and Germany's Bundesliga.
French leading newspaper L'Equipe announced the possibility of Kim Min-jae joining the most prestigious club.
"PSG is looking for a new right-footed center back for the FIFA Club World Cup," the newspaper said on the 4th (Korea time). "We are considering several candidates including Munich defender Kim Min-jae," it said. "Kim Min-jae's priority is low right now. Just a backup option."
"München is considering the possibility of Kim Min-jae requesting a transfer. PSG general manager Luis Campos does not consider Korean defenders as his priority, but they are still included in the plan," he added.
Kim Min-jae's future this summer is attracting a lot of attention from soccer fans.
Earlier, German leading magazine Sport Bild said, "Bayern Munich's sports director Max Eberle submitted a club plan to the board for the overall recruitment and release plan from the club's board, and the board approved the plan entirely."
"There are several adjustments in the composition of the defense team, including Kim Min-jae, and the recruitment of Yonatanta is also one of the officially approved by the board," he said.
Kim Min-jae seems to have already heard the news.
German media "Sport" reported on the 17th of last month, "München's plan to release Kim Min-jae is gradually becoming more concrete. He was informed by the club a few weeks ago to leave the team."
Germany has consistently reported that Kim Min-jae is currently being released by the club. Naturally, he was caught up in rumors of a transfer. Until recently, he was connected to prestigious clubs in Europe such as Chelsea, Newcastle United, and Juventus.
Additionally, it turned out that PSG is considering recruiting Kim Min-jae. However, the team has not made an official proposal like other teams.
There are two reasons for hesitating to recruit Kim Min-jae. First of all, salaries are high.
In September last year, "Sport Bild" disclosed all the salaries of Munich players on the condition of an estimate.
Kim was found to be paid 17 million euros and 27.5 billion won (25.6 million U.S. dollars) in Korean currency. This salary ranks among the top in the German Bundesliga. Kim's 17 million euros is not a basic salary. According to the media, Kim's basic salary is 11 million euros. On top of that, media outlets will receive bonuses if they play 15 games, and they have to play 47 games every season to receive all bonuses related to participation in games.
"The conditions are that they reach the semifinals at the UEFA Champions League and the German Football Association (DFB) Pokal," the media said. When bonuses are included, the pre-tax salary is certain to exceed 30 billion won.
The second is that Kim Min-jae doesn't know when his injury will explode.
Kim has been suffering from ankle pain and inflammation of his Achilles tendon since the game against Eintracht Frankfurt in October last year. Kim has yet to completely recover from his Achilles tendon injury.
Until recently, he played in the game with the risk of further spreading his injury. Kim Min-jae said he once played with painkillers at the end of last year.
The Achilles tendon is very important to a soccer player. Achilles needs to be healthy when it comes to speed and change direction. If you get hurt, the aftereffects are long.
Many players are unable to display capability after hurting their Achilles tendon. Kwon Chang-hoon, a former member of the Korean national team, is also struggling after injuring his Achilles tendon in France in 2018.
It is even known that he is suffering from water on his left foot recently.
Sport Bild said on the 3rd, "Once again bad news about Kim Min-jae. We have already reported shocking news from Korea. Kim Min-jae's left Achilles tendon inflammation was serious and his condition worsened. The doctor advised Kim not only to skip the Korean national team game, but also to rest until at least July 15."
"We got new information. Kim Min-jae is also known to be suffering from nodular carcinoma, a cyst filled with liquid in his left foot. If Kim's condition does not improve, he is feared to be absent until mid or late July. This will make it unclear whether he will participate in pre-season training as well as the entire Club World Cup schedule," he said.
If Kim Min-jae's injury becomes serious, he cannot play. However, the club has to pay Kim Min-jae. There is no worse situation for the club than a player who can't play a game when a considerable amount of salary is paid every week. For PSG, it is difficult to use him for the Club World Cup right now.
However, even considering injuries, Kim Min-jae is bound to be attractive from PSG's point of view.
Kim Min-jae's skills have been verified. Although he is struggling with Achilles tendon injuries this year, he won the 2022-2023 Italian Serie A best defender, and in November last year, he ranked first in the global center back rankings selected by CIES, a research institute affiliated with FIFA.
On top of that, PSG is attracting Kim Min-jae due to the fact that the transfer fee has fallen due to a slight slump due to injury this year.
German media Bild said, "München has hired Kim for 50 million euros. However, he is willing to sell Kim at a whopping 40 percent lower price. It is a ridiculously low price," adding, "Legendary coach Jose Mourinho also praised Kim. Kim has good conditions, including age, skill and experience. It will be a useful resource for many European clubs."
PSG has the highest average annual salary for a team in the world. It is a place where Kim Min-jae's transfer fee and annual salary can be fully covered.
When Kim Min-jae goes to PSG, he will share the same rice with Lee Kang-in. Of course, Lee Kang-in is also looking for a new team this summer.
