Behind Jonathan Tah and Dayot Upamecano in Bayern Munich’s pecking order, Kim Minjae could be on the move this summer.

According to Munich-based tabloid TZ, Turkish giants Besiktas and Galatasaray are among the clubs pursuing the 29-year-old centre-back.

Bayern paid a reported €45 million to Napoli for Kim in 2023, but his market value has since dropped to €25 million, creating an opportunity for the Istanbul clubs.

Chelsea and AC Milan are also said to have the South Korea international on their radar.

Kim remains under contract with Bayern until the summer of 2028.
