Munich steps to give up the recruitment of the top center back of the ‘monster physical’ Bundesliga

Sport Bild of Germany said on Wednesday (Korea Standard Time) that Bayern will face massive changes this summer. In particular, its central defense will undergo significant changes. Matthijs de Ligt will be able to leave the club. He has already signed Hiroki Ito, a Japanese national team defender. However, another contract is on shaky ground. We have to wait and see whether Jonathan Tah will actually be hired.

The media added, “The player wants to move to Bayern, but when Max Everest was contacted by Bayern sports director and Leverkusen sports director Simone Rolfez, we could see that there was a wide gap in thinking about the transfer fee.”

The transfer fee that Bayern prepared for other recruits was 20 million euros (about 29.6 billion won). Although not now, a contractual buyout clause could be triggered a year ago in the summer transfer market. At that time, the amount was 18 million euros (about 26.7 billion won), so Bayern prepared 20 million euros slightly higher.

However, Leverkusen is reportedly asking for 40 million euros (about 59.3 billion won), which is only twice as much. As both teams continue to negotiate without backing down from their existing positions, the possibility of recruiting other teams is very low.

Another reason for the low possibility of recruiting other players is also related to the release. According to Sport Bild, Bayern plans to spend next season with four center backs. Currently, the safe center backs in the squad are Kim Min-jae and Eric Dyer. Since Hiroki was recruited, there are already three center backs.

If Ta is hired, not only De Rijkt but also Dayo Upamecano must be sold. Coach Vincent Kompany highly values Upamecano, so he may not readily agree to the sale. It is not easy to arrange two world-class center backs in the transfer market.스포츠토토사이트

If there is no other recruitment, it is the best news for Kim Min-jae. When it comes to the performance of the 2023-2024 season, it is true that Ta is rated higher than Kim Min-jae. Also, Ta is currently the center back for the German national team. Bayern is a team that has traditionally had German national team players as the main players.

Kim Min-jae showed better skills than Upamecano, and Dyer is not suitable for using aggressive tactics like coach Kompany. If Kim Min-jae only shows my skills, he will of course be able to continue to play better than Hiroki. It would be much more comfortable for Kim Min-jae to gain the upper hand in the existing competition rather than adding a new competitor.
