AC Milan are showing interest in Bayern Munich defender Kim Min-jae, according to Gazzetta dello Sport.

The 28-year-old centre-back has been linked with a summer exit following a disappointing and injury-plagued 2024/25 season. 

Bayern are said to be open to selling Kim, with an asking price of at least €30 million.

Kim’s agent is reportedly prioritizing a return to Italy, where the South Korean international previously played for Napoli - making Milan a realistic option.

From Bayern’s point of view, the interest is particularly intriguing, as they remain keen on Milan forward Rafael Leão

According to Kicker, Kim could be included as part of a swap deal for the Portugal international. In such a scenario, Bayern would likely need to add a significant fee on top of the defender.

Leão currently has a market value of €75 million, according to Transfermarkt.de, meaning a straight swap is considered unlikely.
