One operation led to another. Bayern waited for Paris Saint-Germain to buy Lucas Hernandez, they received 45,000,000 euros for the transfer of the French national team player to Parc des Princes, and the last obstacle to signing Kim Min-jae was removed.As soon as the money was deposited and minor formalities completed, the German giant made the signing of the ‘Monster’ official. One summer saga less: the best defender of Serie A and winner of the Scudetto with Napoli signed the contract and committed to cooperation with the Munich club until 2028!Thomas Tuchel got a new sweeper, the hole created in the heart of the defense by the departure of Lucas Hernandez has been patched, and Napoli will receive 50,000,000 euros in compensation. The clause has been activated, and Kim Min-jae will wear the number three shirt in Bayern.##NAJAVA_MECA_7377649##The South Korean international’s promotion is done, the ‘Monster’ will be immediately available to Thomas Tuchel. And where did such a nickname come from? He has been wearing it since years ago, even when he was performing in his homeland. Everyone has bounced off with his body, could carry attackers in his teeth and is proud of that nickname:”I like it, that nickname speaks about my defensive qualities,” Kim once said in an interview with the Guardian.Bayern got a player who loves a duel, especially when it comes to the game in the air. In the last season, he won as many as 92 percent of duels, and Alessandro Buongiorno from Torino was more successful than him in Serie A, according to that parameter. But only in percentage terms. The Bavarians made a huge signing, completed a big reinforcement in the back line of the team, and Kim, who arrived in Naples a year ago from Fenerbahce as a replacement for Kalidou Koulibaly, will pay off immensely after a great season.The Korean stopper is known for not shying away from playing forward, not always looking for the easiest and most painless solutions. He does not tend to play first to himself. He has made great progress in all areas since arriving at Napoli, now is the time for another step forward. He hardly imagined that one day he would wear the shirt of the giants from Munich when he first received an invitation to play for the South Korean under-17 national team. That night, his father drove him across the country in a truck to the training center.Made for 𝐊𝐌𝐉 — made for 𝐅𝐂𝐁! 🔴⚪ #ServusMinjae #FCBayern #MiaSanMia pic.twitter.com/aJs1KrqZWT— FC Bayern München (@FCBayern) July 18, 2023 He became a regular in the national team, at the World Cup he was in the first 11 in three games, and South Korea reached the round of 16. He was a pillar of the defense of Napoli and the national team, and at the Allianz Arena they expect him to continue the trend of good performances and with him the defense will be less porous.”Bayern is the dream of every footballer. I am really looking forward to everything that awaits me in Munich. This is a new beginning for me, I will continue to develop in football. From the very beginning, when we first entered into negotiations, it was made clear to me how interested they were in my services. My first goal is to play a large number of games, and I also want to win as many trophies as possible”, said Kim after the presentation.
