Italian pro football Serie A Napoli defender Kim Min-jae is returning home through Incheon International Airport for basic military training on the 6th with the best defender award trophy around his neck. Kim Min-jae, who led Napoli to the league championship in 33 years, became the first Asian player to win the Italian Serie A best defender award. 2023.6.6/News1 Thomas Tuchel Bayern Munich (Germany) coach publicly implied the transfer of Korean national football team defender Kim Min-jae (27).
Kim Min-jae, who played for Italy’s Serie A Napoli, is about to move to Munich for the new season. However, even after the local media announced that it was ‘actually confirmed’, no official announcement was made.
At an official press conference held ahead of the preseason on the 16th (Korean time), coach Tuchel said, “We are waiting for the confirmation of the recruitment of a player (Kim Min-jae) from Korea.” It’s not even a secret,” he said, revealing that the transfer process was virtually complete.
Previously, Munich sent Lucas Hernandez, who is in the same position as Kim Min-jae, to Paris Saint-Germain (France).
Regarding this, coach Tuchel said, “The player made it clear that he wanted to leave, and even a lucrative offer followed. He also decided that the new player to join would be able to fill Hernandez’s place.”
On the other hand, Munich has completed the medical test in Korea by dispatching the club’s medical team to Korea as an exception, considering the condition of Kim Min-jae, who completed basic military training this summer.
European media such as ‘Football Italy’ predict that Kim Min-jae will join the pre-season training ground as soon as the official announcement comes out after taking a break in Korea.
