AC Milan eyes Kim Min-jae as Ruben Amorim looks for alternatives

Ruben Amorim does not want to rely solely on Gonçalo Inácio; AC Milan also has South Korean centre‑back Kim Min‑jae as a primary target, according to journalist Christian Falk. The 29‑year‑old player is under contract until 2029 with Bayern Munich and has already played five matches this season without scoring a goal.

Other clubs also interested

Christian Falk reported that Tottenham Hotspur and Aston Villa are also in the race for the centre‑back. Neither club has yet submitted a formal offer to the player.

Bayern Munich has not closed the doors on a departure, but a transfer in January is not expected. The board appears to prefer keeping Kim Min‑jae until the end of the season.

Kim Min‑jae Jubilated, 29, has already played in Italy, standing out at Napoli during the 2022/23 season. At that time he was acquired by Bayern Munich for fifty million euros.

In the current season, the South Korean has logged five matches, without scoring any goal. His performance has been assessed mainly by defensive statistics.

AC Milan is looking to strengthen the defence, as Gonçalo Inácio has also been linked with the San Siro club. The pair of options shows the intention to reshape the back line.

Thus, while Kim Min‑jae's future remains uncertain until winter, the simultaneous interest of three clubs highlights the high demand for a quality centre‑back. The outcome of the negotiation will be decisive for AC Milan's defensive ambitions.
