Kim Min-jae ready for Serie A return with Juventus or AC Milan

Kim Min-jae could potentially return to Serie A in January, as Milan and Juventus are keeping an eye on the Bayern Munich defender.

The South Korea international is no stranger to Italian football, having made his mark at Napoli in the 2022-23 campaign.

He more than doubled his transfer value in that one season, earning a €50m transfer to Bayern Munich, but has struggled for regular playing time in the Bundesliga.

According to La Gazzetta dello Sport and Calciomercato.com, Kim is giving some serious thought to a Serie A move in the January transfer window.

Juventus are looking for reinforcements in central defence, especially after another injury setback for Gleison Bremer, and hope that they’ll still be in the Champions League by then.

Meanwhile, AC Milan had already made an approach for Kim during the summer only to turn towards other targets.

The biggest problem for both clubs is the salary worth €9m per season, so even if he did make the move on loan, it would still be very costly.
