With Dayot Upamecano and Jonathan Tah having established themselves as the preferred centre-back pairing at Bayern Munich, Min-jae Kim could be on the move in the summer in search of more playing time.

According to Gazzetta dello Sport, Juventus are interested in the South Korean centre-back and have made contact regarding a possible move at the end of the season.

The report suggests that Bayern are demanding at least €30 million for Kim, who was signed from SSC Napoli for €50 million in 2023.

Back then, Kim was part of a Napoli side that won the Serie A title under current Juventus coach Luciano Spalletti, with a reunion between the pair now a possibility.

Kim’s contract with Bayern runs until 2028. He has made 31 appearances this season.
