A possible comeback to the Apennines. Milan maintain interest in Bayern defender

Italian giants Milan continue to closely monitor the situation surrounding Bayern Munich's South Korean centre-back Kim Min-jae ahead of the winter transfer window.

Details: According to sports outlet TeamTalk, the Rossoneri have held a sustained interest in the 29-year-old Korean since last spring. Nevertheless, the Milan giants currently view the experienced defender as a fallback option should negotiations for other priority transfer targets collapse.

A change of club in the middle of the season will depend directly on the Bundesliga powerhouse's transfer plans. Bayern are prepared to give the Asian international the green light to leave only if the club can promptly identify and complete the signing of an equivalent replacement, ensuring their squad rotation is not weakened in the midst of their European campaign.

It is worth noting that Kim Min-jae is thoroughly familiar with the demands of Italian football: during the 2022/23 campaign, he excelled for Napoli, playing a key role in their historic Scudetto triumph and earning the Serie A Defender of the Year award. After moving to Bayern for €50 million, the Korean centre-back has periodically faced fierce competition for a place in the German club's starting XI.
