Paris Saint-Germain has selected Kim Min-jae (28, Bayern Munich) as a candidate for center back. Paris Saint-Germain is said to be monitoring several center backs as its captain, Marqui News (31), approaches the end of his prime.
"Paris Saint-Germain is looking for a new center back this summer," French media L'Equipe said on Monday (Korea time). "Kim Min-jae is on the radar," adding, "However, it is not the top priority right now. It seems to be a backup option."
Kim Min-jae's future after an eventful season is uncertain. Kim scored three goals in 43 official matches during the 2024-25 season. He showed his dedication by appearing in the most games among defenders in his team. Furthermore, he played 3,593 minutes in 43 matches, the second-highest total after Jojua Kimmich (30), who played 4,377 minutes.
Kim contributed to winning the Bundesliga title as a starting center back in Germany. However, local fans are disappointed in Kim. Although Kim barely managed to play due to Achilles tendonitis injury, they are only remembering his mistake. Bayern Munich also revealed its intention to sell Kim by recruiting Jonathan Ta (Leverkusen).
When Bayern Munich tried to sell Kim Min-jae, PSG showed interest. PSG, which achieved the treble this season, planned to reinforce its center back this summer. With several players in mind, Kim Min-jae is also a candidate. The biggest reason they want to recruit a center back is because Marqui News can leave the team. Marqui News is being courted by Saudi Arabian and Brazilian clubs. Even if he remains on the team, it is predicted that his weight will decrease.
French media 'Get Frenz Football News' said on the 4th, "It is an open fact that Paris Saint-Germain is seeking to recruit a center back. Marqui News, the captain, may leave the team after winning the UEFA Champions League (UCL), adding, "There is a possibility that he may not leave, but even if he stays, Marqui News' share of the team will be different from before."
Besides Kim Min-jae, Paris Saint-Germain is watching Mario Guilla (Laccio) and Ilya Zavarnie (Bonemouth). In the case of Guilla, Luis Campos (aged 60, Portugal) personally observed him closely at the stadium. After completing verification in the English Premier League, Zavarnie showed interest in transferring to Paris Saint-Germain. However, unlike Kim Min-jae, the two players are key resources in their team, so the negotiation process is not expected to be smooth.
Kim Min-jae, who made his name in Jeonbuk Hyundai, later played for Beijing Guoan, Fenerbachce, and Napoli. He became a world-class player after winning the Italian Serie A title and winning the Serie A best defender in his first season in the big league in Naples. Based on his performance, Bayern Munich invoked the clause on the amount of money allowed to release (buy-out) worth 50 million euros (about 77.8 billion won) to embrace him.
After moving to Bayern Munich, Kim Min-jae took the main center back position by emphasizing his strength. Based on his strong body and fast focus, he showed off his aggressive defense and bullied his opponents. He also assisted his team in various fields by incorporating stable build-up capabilities. There were times when he struggled in the competition, but he was eventually recognized for his performance. 스포츠토토
In the 2024-25 season, the second year since joining Bayern Munich, Kim won the Bundesliga championship in Germany. He became the first Korean player to win the two leagues' trophies among the four major leagues in Europe. As the Bundesliga champion, Kim is currently recovering from his Achilles tendonitis injury and is preparing for the next season.
