The name of Min-jae Kim is heating up the transfer market again in the coming months. As revealed by the well‑known German market expert journalist Christian Falk to CFBayern Insider, Milan is among the clubs that continue to closely monitor the situation of the South Korean centre‑back who is owned by Bayern Munich.

Alongside the Rossoneri, Aston Villa and Tottenham Hotspur also keep their interest alive for the former Napoli defensive mainstay.

Exclusive statements from Christian Falk

I can confirm that Bayern Munich will be the first club with which the player will start any negotiations. However, everything will depend on several factors: what will be Bayern's offer in the autumn, when will his future be discussed? Will they offer Min-jae Kim a new contract? Or will he remain among the players the club would consider selling to raise cash? That is why other clubs are keeping an eye on Kim. Aston Villa is interested and I understand that Tottenham and Milan are also evaluating the South Korean international. In fact, the three clubs had already made contact about Kim in the summer, but in the end no concrete offer was presented. At the moment, therefore, there is nothing concrete. I do not expect a transfer in January or anything similar. Everything will depend on what Bayern Munich communicates to Kim during this year's contract negotiations.

An evolving scenario for Ruben Amorim's defence

Despite the exploratory summer surveys, an immediate push in the winter window appears unlikely. The destiny of the 1996‑born centre‑back will depend on Bayern Munich's strategies, which will have to decide whether to lock him down with a new contract or put him on the market to raise cash. Milan remains at the window, ready to seize any opportunities.
