The European transfer market is shaking with the future of South Korean defender Kim Min-Jae, who plays for Bayern Munich. The Super League giants and Italy's biggest club have come face to face for the experienced defender, who is not considered in the German team's plans for the new season and is highly expected to leave. Giant clubs looking to strengthen their defensive line have entered a race to finalize this transfer.
Fenerbahce, aiming to re-sign their former player, and their arch-rivals Galatasaray had been monitoring Kim Min-Jae's situation for a long time. However, a highly critical development occurred that completely disrupted the balance in the transfer market. According to the latest reports in the Italian press, Serie A giants Juventus have officially stepped in to sign the South Korean footballer. It was learned that the Bianconeri offered a lucrative 3-year contract to the successful center-back and received positive signals from the star player, who is keen on returning to Italy, where he previously won the Serie A title with Napoli.
Bayern Munich set the release clause for the player, whom they signed from Napoli three years ago for a staggering 50 million euros, at half price, namely 25 million euros. While this figure heats up the transfer market even further, Fenerbahce, determined not to lose their former defender to the Italian side, is working intensively to quicken their pace and win this transfer battle before Juventus signs an official contract. The Yellow-Canaries management is pushing all financial limits to not miss their former star, who is highly adored by the fans.
With the desire of the Super League giants and the persistent moves of Juventus, the Kim Min-Jae transfer is expected to become official and his new destination to be clarified shortly. Which team will emerge victorious from this major transfer battle is already a matter of great curiosity.
