"Kim Min-jae is frustrated by the current situation. However, he has no intention of leaving Munich and wants to stay and prove himself next season," said Florian Flettenberg of Germany's "Sky Sports."
Kim Min-jae played for Napoli last season and came to Munich after dominating Serie A in Italy. He strengthened his foothold in the starting line-up at a time when he had to compete with Matthijs de Ligt and Dayo Upamecano. As the two players were injured alternately, he took advantage of his playing time that was close to overstretched. Nevertheless, Kim was in charge of Munich's rear.
Things began to change as Eric Dier came to the winter transfer market and De Licht and Upamecano returned. Coach Thomas Tuchel excluded Kim Min-jae and added Dier as defense instability continued. Dier worked with De Licht while building a main center back line. Kim Min-jae became more familiar with the bench than the starting list and his playing time was very reduced.
He got a chance in a league game against Heidenheim but failed to prevent his team from losing 2-3 while winning 2-0. After being criticized, Kim Min-jae was absent from both the first leg of the UEFA Champions League quarterfinal against Arsenal and the league game against Cologne. He will most likely be the bench in the second leg against Arsenal. Rumors have it that he will leave Munich including the move to Inter Milan as this situation is repeated.
Rumors have it that he and Tuchel are having a hard time together. "Summer transfer Kim Min-jae has yet to play in Munich," Germany's Sport said. The reason is reportedly because of his poor relationship with Tuchel. The first voices are being heard to classify Kim as a failed recruit. Kim Min-jae transferred from Italian champion Napoli for a whopping 50 million euros (about 73 billion won), but Kim Min-jae has yet to justify the amount. 토토사이트 순위
He continued, "It is unclear what will happen to Kim Min-jae. He said that selling Kim Min-jae after just one season is not a problem in Munich. Munich director Max Everest said that he has not decided on Kim Min-jae's future yet."
With the location unclear, rumors of a transfer and discord continue to emerge. Nevertheless, Kim Min-jae seems to have a clear intention to remain in Munich. Coach Tuchel will leave after this season and a new coach will come, which could be a new opportunity for Kim Min-jae. It is what Kim Min-jae should do to turn the situation around as much as possible during the rest of the season.
